Python cos function

Python cos(x) function returns the cosine value of x. The principle values for x is [-∞,∞]. It's a method of math module.

>>> import math
>>> math.cos(math.pi)
-1.0
>>> math.cos(0)
1
>>> math.cos(3 * math.pi/4)
-0.7071067811865475
>>> math.cos(math.pi/3)
-0.5000000000000001

Cosine Functions
1. cos(-x) = cos(x);
2. sine2(x) + cos2(x) = 1

The principle values for x is (-∞,∞).
