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

syntax: </H3>
<em>asinh</em>(&lt;expression&gt;) or <em>asinh</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 further functionality by defining <em>asinh</em> to
 be the 
inverse of <em>sinh</em>. This is done by the commands 
<P><PRE><TT>
        put('sinh,'inverse,'asinh);
        put('asinh,'inverse,'sinh);
</TT></PRE><P><P>
<P>
A numeric value is not returned by <em>asinh</em> unless the switch 
<em>rounded</em> is on and its argument evaluates to a number.
