§4.29(ii) Complex Arguments

The conformal mapping w=sinhz is obtainable from Figure 4.15.7 by rotating both the w-plane and the z-plane through an angle 12π, compare (4.28.8).

The surfaces for the complex hyperbolic and inverse hyperbolic functions are similar to the surfaces depicted in §4.15(iii) for the trigonometric and inverse trigonometric functions. They can be visualized with the aid of equations (4.28.8)–(4.28.13).
