In the documentation it states Math.cosh is supported by the .NET Compact Framework. But if a add the line to my application

Math.cosh(0.34

I will get the error message: Run-time exception thrown : System.NotSupportedException - NotSupportedExceptio

Is the documentation wrong

This is one of those confusing "Supported by API/Not supported by platform
cases". The class definition (Math) has it for compatibility, but will throw
an exception when you try using it. Luckily all hyperbolic functions are
easily represented via exponential function:

sinh(x) = (exp(x) - exp(-x))/2
cosh(x) = (exp(x) + exp(-x))/2
tanh(x) = (exp(x) - exp(-x))/(exp(x) + exp(-x))

and Exp is present and implemented. Similarly, reverse hyperbolic functions
can also be represented via more basic functions:
asinh(z) = log(z + sqrt(z*z +1))
etc...
