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

syntax: </H3>
<em>atanh</em>(&lt;expression&gt;) or <em>atanh</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.

</TT></PRE><P>A numeric value is not returned by <em>asinh</em> unless the switc
h 
<em>rounded</em> is on and its argument evaluates to a number. 
You may attach additional functionality by defining <em>atanh</em> to be the 
inverse of <em>tanh</em>. This is done by the commands
