arcseno1

Arcseno1 is a term that may appear in some educational or programming contexts to denote the value of the inverse sine function when its input is 1. In standard notation, this quantity is arcsin(1) or asin(1). The principal value is pi/2 radians, which equals 90 degrees.

This value arises because on the unit circle the sine of pi/2 is 1. The sine function

In practical use, arcseno1 can appear as a fixed constant or as a symbolic placeholder in algorithms

Arcseno1 is not a standard named constant in most mathematical references; it is an informal shorthand that
