Math.js is an extensive math library for JavaScript and Node.js. It features a flexible expression parser with support for symbolic computation, comes with a large set of built-in functions and constants, and offers an integrated solution to work with dif

   * Calculate the inverse sine of a value.
   *
   * For matrices, the function is evaluated element wise.
   *
   * Syntax:
   *
   *    math.asin(x)
   *
   * Examples:
   *
   *    math.asin(0.5);           // returns number 0.5235987755982989
   *    math.asin(math.sin(1.5)); // returns number ~1.5
   *
   *    math.asin(2);             // returns Complex 1.5707963267948966 -1.3169578969248166 i
   *

   *
   *    sin, atan, acos

   * @param {number | BigNumber | Complex | Array | Matrix} x   Function input
   * @return {number | BigNumber | Complex | Array | Matrix} The arc sine of x
