Example 1
- x = 0
0
What is sinh(0)? 0. (e⁰ − e⁰)/2.
Sinh calculator
Type x. The result is (eˣ − e⁻ˣ)/2. 0 gives 0. 1 gives 1.175201. −1 gives −1.175201.
One field. This is not sine of an angle. The calculator computes (e^a − e^(−a))/2. A fraction through six decimal places.

How it works
Hyperbolic sine is sinh(x), not sin of an angle. The formula does not use a built-in sinh. It computes (e^a − e^(−a))/2. x = 0 gives 0. x = 1 gives 1.175201. x = −1 gives −1.175201.
The function is odd. A minus in x flips the sign. At these three values the result matches sinh, but the calculator stays with exp.
An empty field is a blank value and a blank. Hyperbolic cosine and hyperbolic tangent live next door. We do not overwrite the gold sine-of-an-angle card.
The header units switch does not multiply anything. 0 stays 0 whatever the label says.
0 is an integer, so the string 0. 1.175201 is six decimal places.
x = 0 gives 0. x = 1 gives 1.175201. x = −1 gives −1.175201.
Formula
sinh(x) = (eˣ − e⁻ˣ)/2
How to use
- Type x, for example 0.
- Click Calculate. sinh(0) comes out 0.
- 1 gives 1.175201. −1 gives −1.175201.
- This is not sine of an angle in degrees.
- cosh and tanh of that x live on the neighbouring cards.
x = 0 gives 0
sinh(x) is (eˣ − e⁻ˣ)/2. 0 gives 0. 1 gives 1.175201. −1 gives −1.175201.
- Hyperbolic
- sinh, not sin of an angle. sinh(0) = 0. sinh(1) = 1.175201.
- sine
- Here hyperbolic. −1 gives −1.175201. An odd function.
- sinh
- (e^a − e^(−a))/2. Not sinh. A fraction through six decimal places.

Common questions
What is sinh(0)?
0. (1−1)/2. An integer string.
What does hyperbolic sine mean?
sinh(x), (eˣ−e⁻ˣ)/2. Not sin of an angle.
What is sinh(1)?
The result is 1.175201. The calculator uses the exponential function, not a built-in sinh.
What is sinh(−1)?
−1.175201. An odd function.
Is this sinh?
No. The formula is (e^a − e^(−a))/2. At 1 the result matches.
What if the field is empty?
a blank value. The result stays blank.
Is this sin 0°?
No. Sine of an angle is on the sine page. Here sinh.
Does a fraction get six places?
Yes. 0 stays 0. 1.175201 has six digits.
Where is cosh?
On the hyperbolic cosine page. There you get cosh.
Does a comma in 0.5 work?
