acos_d: Compute inverse cosine with angle given in degrees

Description

Provides the functionality of acos, but for input angles measured in degrees (not radians).

Usage

acos_d(theta = 0)

Value

Returns a numeric value for the inverse cosine of the specified angular measurement

Arguments

theta

A numeric angular measurement in degrees from north.

Author

Tarmo K. Remmel

Details

Since the R default is to compute trigonometric functions on angular measurements stored in radians, this simple function performs the conversion from degrees, reducing the need to do so a priori, outside the function.
