Hi,

Does anyone have experience using the hyperbolic trig functions in LON-CAPA? I 
have recently been coding some new problems that use the &tanh() function. I 
was comparing the results to those I got using MATLAB, and after some 
troubleshooting it appears that the difference is the tanh. Specifically, the 
&tanh($x) function in LON-CAPA always returns an imaginary value of zero.

Here is the code:
$tanh               = &tanh($gamma*$len);
$tanh_real      = Re($tanh);
$tanh_imag    = Im($tanh);
where $gamma is a complex number and $len is a scalar. MATLAB computes a 
complex number for tanh in the examples I have tried. Am I doing something 
wrong? Does LC not compute tanh correctly?
