Inverses return the angle from the ratio. This is in degrees. If you want radians there is sinr, cosr, tanr.
If you want to know how it is frequently used: it is done to make circles.
X=sin(Time)
Y=cos(Time)
Position something at those coordinated (use multipliers if necessary) and so long as it triggers and time increases, they will move in a circle. curtime() is a good way to get a constantly increasing time.
