Hyperbolic Functions
Description
These functions give the obvious hyperbolic functions. They respectively compute the hyperbolic cosine, sine, tangent, and their inverses, arc-cosine, arc-sine, arc-tangent (or ‘area cosine’, etc).
Usage
cosh(x)
sinh(x)
tanh(x)
acosh(x)
asinh(x)
atanh(x)
Arguments
x |
a numeric or complex vector |
Details
These are generic functions: methods can be defined for them
individually or via the Math group generic.
Branch cuts are consistent with the inverse trigonometric functions
asin() et seq, and agree with those defined in Abramowitz and
Stegun, figure 4.7, page 86.
S4 methods
All are S4 generic functions: methods can be defined
for them individually or via the
Math group generic.
