Math.Sinh Method

.NET Framework 2.0

Returns the hyperbolic sine of the specified angle.

Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

C#
C++
VB
Copy 
public static double Sinh (
	double value
)
J#
Copy 
public static double Sinh (
	double value
)
JScript
Copy 
public static function Sinh (
	value : double
) : double

Parameters

value

An angle, measured in radians.

Return Value

The hyperbolic sine of value. If value is equal to NegativeInfinity, PositiveInfinity, or NaN, this method returns a Double equal to value.

The angle, value, must be in radians. Multiply by π/180 to convert degrees to radians.

The following example uses Sinh to evaluate certain hyperbolic identities for selected values.
