Proposition: $$\dfrac{d}{dz} \mathrm{arcsin(z)} = \dfrac{1}{1-z^2}$$

Proof: If $y=\mathrm{arcsin}(z)$ then $\sin(y)=z$. Now use implicit differentiation with respect to $z$ to get $$\cos(y)y'=1.$$ Substitution back in $y=\mathrm{arcsin(z)}$ yields the formula $$\dfrac{d}{dz} \mathrm{arcsin(z)} = \dfrac{1}{\cos(\mathrm{arcsin(z)})} = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-z^2}}. █ $$

Proposition: $$\int \mathrm{arcsin}(z) dz = \sqrt{1-z^2}+z\mathrm{arcsin}(z)+C$$

Proof:

Proposition: $$\mathrm{arcsin}(z) = \mathrm{arccsc}\left( \dfrac{1}{z} \right)$$

Proof:

Proposition: $$\mathrm{arcsin}(z)=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \dfrac{\left(\frac{1}{2} \right)_n}{(2n+1)n!}x^{2n+1}$$

Proof:
