> Computes the [cosine][cosine] of a number.


## Installation

``` bash
$ npm install math-cos
```


## Usage

``` javascript
var cos = require( 'math-cos' );
```

#### cos( x )

Computes the [cosine][cosine] of a `number` (in radians).

``` javascript
var val = cos( 0 );
// returns 1

val = cos( Math.PI/4 );
// returns ~0.707

val = cos( -Math.PI/6 );
// returns ~0.866
```


## Examples

``` javascript
var linspace = require( 'compute-linspace' );
var cos = require( 'math-cos' );

var x = linspace( 0, 2*Math.PI, 100 );
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) {
	console.log( cos( x[ i ] ) );
}
```

To run the example code from the top-level application directory,

``` bash
$ node ./examples/index.js
```

## Tests

### Unit

This repository uses [tape][tape] for unit tests. To run the tests, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

``` bash
$ make test
```

All new feature development should have corresponding unit tests to validate correct functionality.


### Test Coverage

This repository uses [Istanbul][istanbul] as its code coverage tool. To generate a test coverage report, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

``` bash
$ make test-cov
```

Istanbul creates a `./reports/coverage` directory. To access an HTML version of the report,

``` bash
$ make view-cov
```


### Browser Support

This repository uses [Testling][testling] for browser testing. To run the tests in a (headless) local web browser, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

``` bash
$ make test-browsers
```

To view the tests in a local web browser,

``` bash
$ make view-browser-tests
```
