# Using columns from this table define an inverse - using Thiele's interpolation - for each trig function;
# Finally: demonstrate the following well known trigonometric identities:
#* &nbsp; <big><big> 6 &times; sin<sup>-1</sup> &frac12; = <math> \pi </math> </big></big>
#* &nbsp; <big><big> 3 &times; cos<sup>-1</sup> &frac12; = <math> \pi </math> </big></big>
