COTH INDEX

COTH _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ operator

The coth operator returns the hyperbolic cotangent of its argument. The derivative of coth and some simple transformations are known to the system.

syntax:

coth(<expression>) or coth <simple\_expression>

<expression> may be any scalar REDUCE expression. <simple\_expression > must be a single identifier or begin with a prefix operator name.

examples:


df(coth(x*y),x); 

                2
  - Y*(COTH(X*Y)   - 1) 



coth acoth z; 

  Z
