document.write( "\"theta\" = \"arccsc%28sqrt%282%29%29\"  means, by the definition\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    \"csc%28theta%29\" = \"sqrt%282%29\"  and  \"-pi%2F2\" <= \"theta\" <= \"pi%2F2\".\r\n" );

document.write( "For this standard definition, see, for example, this Wikipedia article\r\n" );
