haversinen.

Brit.

/ˈhavəsʌɪn/, U.S.

/ˈhævərˌsaɪn/

Origin: Formed within English, by blending. Etymons: half adj., versine n.

Etymology: Blend of half adj. and versine n.The term was introduced by J. Inman (see quot. 1835).

Mathematics.

A trigonometrical function given by haversin θ = ½(1 − cos θ), originally and chiefly used in navigational calculations; abbreviated haversin or hav. Frequently attributive.

Compounds

haversine formula n. a formula involving haversines which allows the shortest distance between two points on the surface of a sphere to be calculated using the longitude and latitude of each point.For two points on a sphere of radius r and having latitudes λ₁, λ₂ and longitudes ϕ₁, ϕ₂, the distance d between them is given by d = 2r arcsin (√h), where h = haversin (ϕ₂ − ϕ₁) + cos ϕ₁ cos ϕ₂ haversin (λ₂ − λ₁).
