    There's a cotan function? I was pretty sure the derivative of tan is sec^2, which is 1/cos
    There is a cotangent function, and you're right, the derivative of tangent is secant squared (x). And no, Mr. Bae, 1/cosine(x) equals secant(x).

    I was absolutely delighted to leave all this stuff behind at school.

    Funnily enough I've never needed to use any of it, which is precisely why I didn't pay much attention at the time.
