The <em>cosh</em> operator returns the hyperbolic cosine of its argument. 
The derivative of <em>cosh</em> and some simple transformations are known 
to the system.

syntax: </H3>
<em>cosh</em>(&lt;expression&gt;) or <em>cosh</em> &lt;simple\_expression&gt; 
<P>
<P>
<P>
&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.

int(cosh(x),x); 

  SINH(X)

</TT></PRE><P>You may attach further functionality by defining its inverse (see 


<A HREF=r37_0237.html>acosh</A>). 
A numeric value is not returned by <em>cosh</em> unless the switch 

<A HREF=r37_0330.html>rounded</A> is on and its argument evaluates to a number.
