CSS To Get Support For Trigonometry Functions (zdnet.com)

CSS, or the language that styles and arranges how page elements appear on a website, will soon get support for trigonometry functions such as sine, cosine, tangent, and others, ZDNet is reporting. From the report: The new trigonometry functions were approved at the end of February in a meeting of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) CSS Working Group. The new functions approved and set to join the CSS standard are: Sine - sin(), cosine - cos(), tangent - tan(), arccosine - acos(), arcsine - asin(), arctangent - atan(), arctangent (of two numbers x and y) - atan2(), square root - sqrt(), square root of the sum of squares of its arguments - hypot(), and power of - pow().

AmeliaBR: Once you start doing graphical layouts involving arcs and stuff, you need trig functions to convert from width/height distances to angular distances

Translation: my website is only massively annoying. I need it to be even more annoying than previously thought possible, and the CPU need to be pegged permanently at 100%.
