+# acosd
+
+> Compute the [arccosine][arccosine] in degrees of a double-precision floating-point number.
+
+<section class="usage">
+
+## Usage
+
+```javascript
+var acosd = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/acosd' );
+```
+
+#### acosd( x )
+
+Computes the [arccosine][arccosine] (in degrees) of a double-precision floating-point number.
+
+```javascript
+var sqrt = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/sqrt' );
+var v = acosd( 0.0 );
+// returns 90.0
+
+v = acosd( 0.5 );
+// returns ~60.0
+
+v = acosd( sqrt( 2 ) / 2 );
+// returns ~45.0
+
+v = acosd( sqrt( 3 ) / 2 );
+// returns ~30.0
+
+v = acosd( NaN );
+// returns NaN
+```
+
+The domain of `x` is restricted to `[-1,1]`. If `|x| > 1`, the function returns `NaN`.
+
+```javascript
+var v = acosd( -3.14 );
+// returns NaN
+```
