<pre>Well, trignometric functions in Calc use radians instead of degrees for its
angle parameters. So for the cosine of 180 degrees you need
"COS(RADIANS(180))" which gives the correct result -1.
This is well documented in both the tooltip information for Calc functions, and
Help documentation. I believe MS Excel has the same behavior.
I know there is a bug with more detailed information on this bugzilla, but I
can't find it right now. Regardless, this is either NOTABUG or WONTFIX.</pre>
