SYNOPSIS
asech(x [,eps])
TYPES
x real, 0 < x <= 1
eps nonzero real, defaults to epsilon()
return real
DESCRIPTION
Returns the asech of x to a multiple of eps with error less in
absolute value than .75 * eps.
asech(x) is the real number v for which sech(v) = x. It is given by
asech(x) = ln((1 + sqrt(1 - x^2))/x)
EXAMPLE
> print asech(.5,1e-5), asech(.5,1e-10), asech(.5,1e-15), asech(.5,1e-20)
