English → English (gcide) Definition: Circular functions Function \Func"tion\, n. [L. functio, fr. fungi to perform, execute, akin to Skr. bhuj to enjoy, have the use of: cf. F. fonction. Cf. Defunct.] 1. The act of executing or performing any duty, office, or calling; performance. “In the function of his public calling.” --Swift. [1913 Webster] 2. (Physiol.) The appropriate action of any special organ or part of an animal or vegetable organism; as, the function of the heart or the limbs; the function of leaves, sap, roots, etc.; life is the sum of the functions of the various organs and parts of the body. [1913 Webster] 3. The natural or assigned action of any power or faculty, as of the soul, or of the intellect; the exertion of an energy of some determinate kind. [1913 Webster] As the mind opens, and its functions spread. --Pope. [1913 Webster] 4. The course of action which peculiarly pertains to any public officer in church or state; the activity appropriate to any business or profession. [1913 Webster] Tradesmen . . . going about their functions. --Shak. [1913 Webster] The malady which made him incapable of performing his regal functions. --Macaulay. [1913 Webster] 5. (Math.) A quantity so connected with another quantity, that if any alteration be made in the latter there will be a consequent alteration in the former. Each quantity is said to be a function of the other. Thus, the circumference of a circle is a function of the diameter. If x be a symbol to which different numerical values can be assigned, such expressions as x^2, 3^x, Log. x, and Sin. x, are all functions of x. [1913 Webster] 6. (Eccl.) A religious ceremony, esp. one particularly impressive and elaborate. Every solemn `function' performed with the requirements of the liturgy. --Card. Wiseman. [Webster 1913 Suppl.] 7.

Arbitrary function. See under Arbitrary. Calculus of functions. See under Calculus. Carnot's function (Thermo-dynamics), a relation between the amount of heat given off by a source of heat, and the work which can be done by it. It is approximately equal to the mechanical equivalent of the thermal unit divided by the number expressing the temperature in degrees of the air thermometer, reckoned from its zero of expansion.

See Algebraic function (above). -- Trigonometrical function , a quantity whose relation to the variable is the same as that of a certain straight line drawn in a circle whose radius is unity, to the length of a corresponding are of the circle.

E Then BD is the sine of the arc AB; OD or EB is the cosine, AF is the tangent, CG is the cotangent, OF is the secant OG is the cosecant, AD is the versed sine, and CE is the coversed sine of the are AB. If the length of AB be represented by x (OA being unity) then the lengths of Functions. these lines (OA being unity) are the trigonometrical functions of x, and are written sin x, cos x, tan x (or tang x), cot x, sec x, cosec x, versin x, coversin x. These quantities are also considered as functions of the angle BOA. Function \Func"tion\, n. [L. functio, fr. fungi to perform, execute, akin to Skr. bhuj to enjoy, have the use of: cf. F. fonction.
