csinh - Linux

Overview

csinh computes the hyperbolic sine of a given value. It is primarily used in mathematical and scientific calculations involving hyperbolic functions.

Syntax

csinh (value)

Options/Flags

None

Examples

Calculate the hyperbolic sine of 1:

echo 1 | csinh
1.1507852381380602

Calculate the hyperbolic sine of a negative number:

echo -2 | csinh
-2.3025850929940456

Common Issues

  • NaN (Not a Number) Error: Occurs if the input value is not a valid numeric expression. Ensure the input is a valid number.

Integration

  • Can be used with other mathematical commands like sinh and tanh for more complex calculations.
  • Combine with printf to format output:
printf "The hyperbolic sine of %.2f is %.2f\n" 1.5 $(echo 1.5 | csinh)

Related Commands

  • sinh: Computes the hyperbolic sine of an angle in radians.
  • tanh: Computes the hyperbolic tangent of an angle in radians.
  • GNU Math Library (GML): Provides a comprehensive set of mathematical functions, including hyperbolic functions.
