I could not found any answer to this question: What is sin-1(2i) equal?
 
Physics news on Phys.org


sin(x) = (exp(ix)-exp(-ix))/2i

Firstly let y=exp(ix) and subs in

( y + 1/y)/2i=2i

solve for y, then for x.
 


Since you titled this thread "Multi-Valuedness", note that solving (y+ 1/y)/2i= 2i will involve solving a quadratic function so you may have two values for y. Then solving y= exp(ix) with both values of involves taking the logarithm which adds multiples of 2\pi i.
 


For the two last posts, isn't it supposed to be (y - 1/y)/2i = 2i ?
 


Yes - I can't even seem to follow my own suggestion.
 

Thread 'What do you think of this new explanation of Zeta function?'

For original Zeta function, ζ(s)=1+1/2^s+1/3^s+1/4^s+... =1+e^(-slog2)+e^(-slog3)+e^(-slog4)+... , Re(s)>1 Riemann extended the Zeta function to the region where s≠1 using analytical extension. New Zeta function is in the form of contour integration, which appears simple but is actually more inconvenient to analyze than the original Zeta function. The original Zeta function already contains all the information about the distribution of prime numbers. So we only handle with original Zeta...
