31 The exponential funtion is defined, for all objects for which this makes
32 sense, as the power series

41 In particular, the exponential function is well defined for real numbers,
42 complex number, quaternions, octonions, and matrices of complex numbers,

97 The hyperbolic sine is one to one on the set of real numbers, with range
98 the full set of reals, while the hyperbolic tangent is also one to one on
99 the set of real numbers but with range <code class="literal">[0;+∞[</code>, and therefore
103 The hyperbolic cosine is one to one from <code class="literal">]-∞;+1[</code> onto
104 <code class="literal">]-∞;-1[</code> (and from <code class="literal">]+1;+∞[</code> onto <code class="literal">]-∞;-1[</code>).
107 The inverse function we use here is defined on <code class="literal">]-∞;-1[</code>
108 with range <code class="literal">]-∞;+1[</code>.
111 The inverse of the hyperbolic tangent is called the Argument hyperbolic tangent,
112 and can be computed as
