I'm using java 1.3 on a blackberry device, their implementation of the Math class doesn't have acos, is there any implementation of it I can find elsewhere? Again, it doesn't have this:
Math.acos();
sigh,
Thanks

I'm using JAVA 6:
acos
public static double acos(double a)
Returns the arc cosine of a value; the returned angle is in the range 0.0 through pi. Special case:
* If the argument is NaN or its absolute value is greater than 1, then the result is NaN.
The computed result must be within 1 ulp of the exact result. Results must be semi-monotonic.
Parameters:
a - the value whose arc cosine is to be returned.
Returns:
the arc cosine of the argument.
;JOOP!
