Cosine function

Function

$\mathrm{\cos}: \mathbb C\to\mathbb C$
$\cos(z) := \sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{(-1)^{k}}{(2k)!}z^{2n} $

Discussion

$\theta\in\mathbb R$

$\cos(\theta) = \frac{1}{2}(\mathrm e^{i\theta}+\mathrm e^{-i\theta}) $

i.e. if $\zeta_\theta:=\mathrm e^{i\theta}$, then $\zeta_\theta+\overline{\zeta_\theta}=2\cos(\theta)$.
