What is the correct English pronounciation of the function name "arsinh"?

Do you mean the inverse hyperbolic sin (arcsinh)? In my experience the hyperbolic functions are usually pronounced with a "ch" (as in "church") for tanh and sinh or "sh" (for cosh) at the end: "ark-sinch" would be a transcription.

In R (and C) it is asinh(), so a-sinch or a-shine.

the inverse hyperbolic sin is often called "arsinh" (pronounced ar-sinch) rather than "arcsinh" for good reason. arcsin(x) is the _arc_ (ie angle) with sin equal to x arsinh(x) is an _area_ corresponding to a sinh of x albyn -------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.reed.edu/~jones Albyn Jones jones at reed.edu Reed College, Portland OR 97202 (503)-771-1112 x7418 -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
