I am writing some automatic differentiation routines for Taylor series, and would like to verify my results for the value and first six derivatives of ##sinh## and ##cosh## evaluated at ##\pi /3##, and also ##tanh##, and ##sec^2##, evaluated at ##\pi / 4##.

I have attempted to use this site to check (amongst other methods), but for the functions listed above (I have already verified arithmetic and the simpler functions myself) it cannot cope! Here are my results:

Code:
sinh: 1.249367  1.600287  1.249367  1.600287  1.249367  1.600287  1.249367

cosh: 1.600287  1.249367  1.600287  1.249367  1.600287  1.249367  1.600287

tanh: 0.655794  0.569934 -0.747519  0.330788  2.122361 -7.644586  2.875892

sech^2: 0.569934 -0.747519  0.330788  2.122361 -7.644586  2.875892 93.917658

Does anyone have access to a system that can generate this data?

WolframAlpha can do that.
Analytic and as numeric answer.
Thanks for the tip, didn't know that was free! Looks like at least some of my answers are good, still checking . . .
[EDIT] Wow. Looks like they are all correct!
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
