I think that the following definition would
work::
asin x == if x = 1 then pi()/2::$ else atan(x/sqrt(1-x**2))
There is one thing that puzzles me, though. Also in 'TRANFUN', the following
definition is given for 'pi()'::
pi() == 2*asin(1)
which seems to be asking for trouble. However, I couldn't find a domain that
would use this definition for 'pi()'. Maybe it should be rather defined in
terms of 'atan'?
