NAME

SYNOPSIS
atanh(x [,eps])
TYPES
x real
eps nonzero real, defaults to epsilon()
return real
DESCRIPTION
Returns the atanh of x to a multiple of eps with error less in
absolute value than .75 * eps.
atanh(x) is the real number v for which tanh(v) = x. It is given by
atanh(x) = ln((1 + x)/(1 - x))/2
EXAMPLE
; print atanh(.5,1e-5), atanh(.5,1e-10), atanh(.5,1e-15), atanh(.5,1e-20)
