Reference for "tangent of half angle equals cosecant minus cotangent"

44 Views Asked by At

The identity $\tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=\frac{1-\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}$ is easily seen to be equivalent to $\tan(\frac{\theta}{2})=\csc \theta - \cot \theta$.

So, my question is: Are there any (online or offline) sources (other than Wikipedia) that mention the latter identity involving cosecant and cotangent?

The answer may, for example, be a textbook, an online book on Google Books, or a PDF file.
