A class of overlooked trigonometric-like functions is explored in this article, along with the relevant applications in applications. We show indeed that Taylor series, resembling that of an ordinary cosine, are representative of wider classes of functions, naturally suited for prolems ranging from molecular to Laser Physics. The article goes through the original motivations of the proposal and studies the relevant properties within the context of an Umbral interpretation. Their use in applications is discussed within the framework of Free Electron Laser theory, Lennard- Jones potentials and Kramers-Kronig causality identities
