Tangent

The trigonometric function

another notation is: tg. Its domain of definition is the entire number axis with the exception of the points , . The tangent is an unbounded, odd and periodic (with as the smallest positive period) function. The tangent and the cotangent are connected by the relation

The inverse function to the tangent is called the arctangent.

The derivative of the tangent is:

The indefinite integral of the tangent is:

The tangent has a series expansion:

The tangent of a complex argument is a meromorphic function with zeros at the points , where .

Comments

The general term in the series expansion of the tangent is:

where are the Bernoulli numbers.
