]
gives
.
MORE INFORMATION
Mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.
The argument of
Sinc
is assumed to be in radians. (Multiply by
Degree
to convert from degrees.)
Sinc
[
z
]
is equivalent to
Sin
[
z
]/
z
for
, but is 1 for
.
For certain special arguments,
Sinc
automatically evaluates to exact values.
Sinc
can be evaluated to arbitrary numerical precision.
Sinc
automatically threads over lists.
