How do calculators/matlab compute hyperbolic functions?
I believe it may have something to do with the taylor series but apart from that I can't find anything else from the net. I was told to try and compute cosh^2(x) - sinh^2(x) = 1, and notice the errors for increasing values of x, which I have done, but I'm still unsure on how this is computed. If it is in fact the taylor series used, then how do I find out how many terms it was computed to?
Thanks :)
