    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
