What are the commands for all the:
- inverse trig functions (
arcsec(x)
,arcCsc(x)
,arcCot(x)
); - hyperbolic trig functions (
sech(x)
andcsch(x)
), and - inverse hyperbolic trig functions?

Here I've augmented that with the full suit of hyperbolic and inverse hyperbolic functions for convenience, as google doesn't turn anything up for this search, nor does the other post come up if one is searching for the inverse hyperbolic functions, specifically.

button over the textfield or simply press ctrl+k. This will indent your code by 4 spaces, which then is recognized as code.
A bit more about "c or not to c"...
The inverse hyperbolic sine
sinh^(-1) z
(Beyer 1987, p. 181; Zwillinger 1995, p. 481), sometimes called the area hyperbolic sine (Harris and Stocker 1998, p. 264) and sometimes denotedarcsinh z
(Jeffrey 2000, p. 124), is the multivalued function that is the inverse function of the hyperbolic sine. The variantsArcsinh z
orArsinh z
(Harris and Stocker 1998, p. 263) are sometimes used to refer to explicit principal values of the inverse hyperbolic sine, although this distinction is not always made. Worse yet, the notationarcsinh z
is sometimes used for the principal value, withArcsinh z
being used for the multivalued function (Abramowitz and Stegun 1972, p. 87). Note that in the notationsinh^(-1) z
,sinh z
is the hyperbolic sine and the superscript-1
denotes an inverse function, not the multiplicative inverse.Its principal value of
sinh^(-1) z
is implemented in Mathematica asArcSinh[z]
and in the GNU C library asasinh(double x)
.
The above is from Wolfram MathWorld.
In summary, there are numerous notations for these functions, and ultimately it is the publisher's choice.
