Yea.. thats self explanatory. I've never heard of "arc functions" - its not very standard I would guess. Fresheneesz 02:36, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

I've never heard the term "arc functions" either. I like to use Google to justify my assertions regarding common usage - like this...

Search term	Google hits
"inverse trigonometric functions" OR "inverse trigonometric function" OR "inverse trig functions" OR "inverse trig function"	166,000
"arc functions" OR "arc function"	22,500
"arcus functions" OR "arcus function"	369

...and in the process I discovered "arcus functions"! Anyway that's better than 7:1 for "inverse trig...", so I'm for merging this page into List of integrals of inverse trigonometric functions, rather than (as indicated by the current merge-tags) vice-versa.--catslash 21:53, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

the term 'arc functions' is not used much imo, but instead the functions ARE widely referred to as arcsine, arccosine etc. as such, your google search may not be a fair test. (analogy: Searching for sin^(-1) would yield very, very few results) 220.253.69.119 05:32, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I agree arcsine, arccosine etc. are commonly used terms and unlike sin^-1 are unambiguous. It's only the collective term arc functions that I have a problem with --catslash 12:29, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

I've never heard "arc functions" before either. Our our own article on them is at inverse trigonometric function, with arc functions being a redirect to that page. I've merged the content from List of integrals of inverse trigonometric functions into here, since this was a more developed page and had a much longer edit history, but I think the page should now be moved over the top of the redirect at "List of integrals of inverse trigonometric functions". jwillbur 23:57, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
