## Detailed Description

Function parameters specified as angle are assumed to be in units of radians.

In no case will any of these functions result in a divide by zero error. If the divisor of a ratio is 0, then results will be undefined.

These all operate component-wise. The description is per component.

Include <glm/trigonometric.hpp> to use these core features.
