Abstract
Let me say, before beginning, that the name goniometric functions seems preferable to the customary name “trigonometric functions”, since trigonometry is but a particular application of these functions, which are of the greatest importance for mathematics as a whole. Their inverse functions are analogous to the logarithm, while they themselves are analogous to the exponential function. We shall call these inverse functions the cyclometric functions.
