The Question - Part 1

Mr. Krosel was a senior mathematician in Colorado University and has been teaching bright minds for the most part of his happy life in Arizona. His schedule was simple, in office by 9am and back home to his family by 6pm. While I wish I was a little less particular, but You'll definitely notice the missing eyebrow over his right eye.

"Sir, if the inverse of functions only exists when the limit of the function is defined, how can the inverse of trigonometric arguments be defined?" asked the youngest student of the batch, Krishna.

The lad from India had been the school topper back at home, and had been offered a scholarship to USA for further studies in Advanced Mathematics. Just 16 Years of age, he was the youngest and one of the brightest in the batch of 60...
