Theta/sin(Theta) = (1001*180)/(1000*PI) to be solved for theta.

Weve done it by iteration, but would prefer the exact solution. Does anyone here have a clue how to get it?

If you are familiar with the USENET, there is a 24 hour mathematical help forum there called alt.algebra.help. I'll post a link to it here...you can post your question and get expert help within a little bit. Don't expect them to give you the answer, though! They'll give very good hints as to what to do.

Hope this helps you!
