<em>asech</em>represents the hyperbolic arccosecant of its argument. It takes 
an arbitrary scalar expression as its argument. The derivative of 
<em>asech</em> is known to the system. Numerical values may also be found by 
turning on the switch 
<A HREF=r37_0330.html>rounded</A>.

<em>asech</em>(&lt;expression&gt;) or <em>asech</em> &lt;simple\_expression&gt;

&lt;expression&gt; may be any scalar REDUCE expression, not an array, matrix or 

vector expression. &lt;simple\_expression&gt; must be a single identifier or 
begin with a prefix operator name.

</TT></PRE><P>You may attach functionality by defining <em>asech</em> to be the 
inverse of 
<em>sech</em>. This is done by the commands 
<P><PRE><TT>
        put('sech,'inverse,'asech);
        put('asech,'inverse,'sech);
</TT></PRE><P><P>
<P>
You can write a procedure to attach integrals or other 
functions to <em>asech</em>. You may wish to add a check to see that its 
argument is properly restricted.
