    Inverse sin, usually written sin^(-1). If using a calculator, be sure it is in degree mode, not radians.

    It's called the Inverse Sin or arcsin

    arcsin(x) means the angle whose sin is x

    Be careful many calculators compute the result in radians.

    360 degrees = 2pi radians

    # degrees = # radians*180/pi
