ABSTRACT

Let A1⊕A2 and A1⊕A3 be two rooted gyrovectors with a common tail A1, shown in Fig. 7.1. They include the gyroangle α1 = ∠A2A1A3 = ∠A3A1A2, the radian measure of which is given by the equation

shown in Fig. 7.1. Accordingly,

of trigonometry. In the context of gyroangles, as in (7.1)–(7.2), we refer these functions of trigonometry to as the functions gyrocosine and gyroarccosine of gyrotrigonometry.
