This is a classic!! The Gudermannian Function, which relates the area of the circular sector to the area of the hyperbolic sector! gf(x) = \int_{0}^{x} 1/(cosh(t)) dt I was just looking at this this morning.
1/cosh(x)=cosh(x)/cosh^2(x) cosh^2(x) - sinh^2(x) = 1 cosh^2(x) = 1 + sinh^2(x) cosh(x) is even so we have 2\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{cosh(x)}{1+sinh^2(x)}dx 2arctan(sinh(x))|_{0}^{\infty} = \pi
Excellent

Thanks for sharing this information
1/cosh(x)=cosh(x)/cosh^2(x)
cosh^2(x) - sinh^2(x) = 1
cosh^2(x) = 1 + sinh^2(x)
cosh(x) is even so we have
2\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{cosh(x)}{1+sinh^2(x)}dx
2arctan(sinh(x))|_{0}^{\infty} = \pi
That is perfect.
It is done
