Was the story of Jesus of Nazareth ever found recorded in any of the history book?

This depends on what you call a "history book."  If you
accept the gospels in the Bible as history books, then the story of Jesus is recorded. 
If you are looking for non-religious texts, there are very few works that contain any
reference to the life of Jesus.


There are a couple of
historical texts from around the time of Jesus that mention him.  These include works
the historians Tacitus (a Roman) and Josephus (a Jew).  But neither of these works has
anything to say about Jesus' actual life.  Instead, they talk about the actions of those
who followed Jesus.  They talk (a little bit) about the actions of the Christians after
the death of Jesus.


Therefore, we have very little in the
way of evidence about the actual life of Jesus.  Most scholars try to learn about Jesus'
life by looking carefully at the gospels and trying to determine what those works can
actually tell us about Jesus' real life and works.

Can (sec x - cosec x) / (tan x - cot x) be simplified further?

Given the expression ( sec x - csec x ) / (tan x - cot x) We need to simplify. We will use trigonometric identities ...
