Next, substitution of ix for x yields
Similarly, sinh ix = sin x. This is one way to describe the relationship of the hyperbolic functions to the
circular functions. A more prosaic response to the concluding question in Problem 43 would be that if the
signs in the Maclaurin series for the cosine function are changed so that they are all plus signs, you get the
Maclaurin series for the hyperbolic cosine function; the same relation hold for the sine and hyperbolic sine
series.

C11S04.054: The first six terms of the series in (27) give a = arctan 15 ≈ 0.1973955598 with ten-place
accuracy. The first two terms of that series give b = arctan 239 1
≈ 0.0041840760 with ten-place accuracy.
Then 16a − 4b ≈ 3.141592653 is in error in only the last digit as an approximation to π ≈ 3.141592654.
If we use instead the approximation

(also accurate to the number of digits shown here). The error in this last approximation is less than 7×10−37 .

Proof: Suppose that x is a real number. Choose the integer k so large that k > |2x|. Let L = |x|k /k!.
Suppose that n = k + 1. Then
|x|m L
< m−k
m! 2
for some integer m > k. Then

for every integer n > k. Now let n → +∞ to conclude that

Because |a − ln 2| ≈ 0.009900019984, whereas |b − ln 2| ≈ 2.039 × 10−26 , it is clear that the second series of
Problem 58 is far superior to the series of Problem 56 for the accurate approximation of ln 2.
