Gudermannian function
In mathematics, the Gudermannian function relates a hyperbolic angle measure ψ {\textstyle \psi } to a circular angle measure ϕ {\textstyle \phi } called the gudermannian of ψ {\textstyle \psi } and denoted gd ψ {\textstyle \operatorname {gd} \psi } . The Gudermannian function reveals a close relationship between the circular functions and hyperbolic functions.
