Wow, that was quick, I had hardly stopped typing. I thought Cos but didn't know why it is connected with "sin" and "tan". Still don't. ???

It's something to do with math - trig I think - sin, cosin and tangent - can't remember the details beyond that!

You're right standian - they are short for sine, cosine and tangent used in their simplest form to find missing sides and angles in right angled triangles. Most of us would have done it at school and it is trigonometry. SOHCAHTOA ring any bells?

I went there and it was called Kos, and it was certainly associated with sin and tan!
