George Castillo added the comment: I misunderstood the rationale for the function returning infinite at those points - I didn't realize that C99 was the governing force behind the implementation of these functions, rather than mathematical rigor. Thanks for pointing it out. In that ca

George Castillo added the comment: Just a quick addition here regarding the singularities to these functions. The atanh(x) is only defined for |x| < 1, so atanh(1) or atanh(-1) isn't singular there so much as simply isn't defined. So, even though the function approaches infinite
