Ummm... I'm not really sure what you're asking for here. The derivative of cos(u) is -sin(u)... Unless you wanted to know the derivative of cos(u)/sin(v) ? I'll solve that... So:
You want to use the quotient rule which is as follows:
[-sin(u)*sin(v) - cos(u)*cos(v)]/(sin(v))^2

du/dv ( cos(U) = sin(V) )
The derivative of cos(U) is -sin(U)
-sin(U) = dV/dU(sin(V))
and the derivative of sin(V) is 0 so:
-sin(U) = 0
Simplified you get just: sin(U) = 0

cosU = sinV
-sinU dU = cosV dV
Therefore, dU/dV = -cosV/sinU
