NAME cosh - hyperbolic cosine SYNOPSIS cosh(x [,eps]) TYPES x real eps nonzero real, defaults to epsilon() return real DESCRIPTION Calculate the cosh of x to the nearest or next to nearest multiple of epsilon, with absolute error less than .75 * abs(eps). cosh(x) = (exp(x) + exp(-x))/2 EXAMPLE > print cosh(1, 1e-5), cosh(1, 1e-10), cosh(1, 1e-15), cosh(1, 1e-20) 1.54308 1.5430806348 1.543080634815244 1.54308063481524377848 LIMITS none LINK LIBRARY NUMBER *qcosh(NUMBER *x, NUMBER *eps) SEE ALSO sinh, tanh, sech, csch, coth, epsilon ## Copyright (C) 1999 Landon Curt Noll ## ## Calc is open software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under ## the terms of the version 2.1 of the GNU Lesser General Public License ## as published by the Free Software Foundation. ## ## Calc is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ## ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY ## or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
