Comments

cosec = 1/sin. - Kevin Ryde observes that this sequences is up to the offset almost identical to A032615(n) = floor(n/Pi): the values differ after n=6 for the first time again at n=80143857. Robert Israel shows that we can nonetheless expect infinitely many differences. See the posts on the SeqFan list for details. - M. F. Hasler, Oct 19 2016
