Does this math shirt have a typo?

I was going to get this shirt for my math-loving kid, who just finished geometry. But then I noticed it says “con” instead of “cos”. I checked all over and didn’t find any evidence that cosine is abbreviated “con” in any country or language (it isn’t here in the US). Am I mistaken? Is there somewhere this can be reported?

Yeah I think you’re right that this may be a typo. There is a con function in math, but it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with what this shirt is showing.. since sine divided by cosine (not con) would be the tangent (tan(gerine)).

You are correct, it should be “cos”. We have updated the artwork to be the correct spelling.
