Inverse Cosecant is Odd Function


This article is complete as far as it goes, but it could do with expansion.
In particular: Expand for $\csc^{-1}$ on complex plane, include this as a corollary

Theorem

Everywhere that the function is defined:

$\map \arccsc {-x} = -\arccsc x$


Proof

\(\ds \map \arccsc {-x}\) \(=\) \(\ds y\)
\(\ds \leadstoandfrom \ \ \) \(\ds -x\) \(=\) \(\ds \csc y:\) \(\ds -\frac \pi 2 \le y \le \frac \pi 2\) Definition of Arccosecant
\(\ds \leadstoandfrom \ \ \) \(\ds x\) \(=\) \(\ds -\csc y:\) \(\ds -\frac \pi 2 \le y \le \frac \pi 2\)
\(\ds \leadstoandfrom \ \ \) \(\ds x\) \(=\) \(\ds \map \csc {-y}:\) \(\ds -\frac \pi 2 \le y \le \frac \pi 2\) Cosecant Function is Odd
\(\ds \leadstoandfrom \ \ \) \(\ds \arccsc x\) \(=\) \(\ds -y\) Definition of Arccosecant

$\blacksquare$
