NAME acosh - inverse hyperbolic cosine SYNOPSIS acosh(x [,eps]) TYPES x real, x >= 1 eps nonzero real, defaults to epsilon() return nonnegative real DESCRIPTION Returns the cosh of x to a multiple of eps with error less in absolute value than .75 * eps. acosh(x) = ln(x + sqrt(x^2 - 1)) is the nonnegative real number v for which cosh(v) = x.
