The hyperbolic sine integral, often called the "Shi function" for short, is defined by

Shi(z)=int_0^z(sinht)/tdt.
(1)

The function is implemented in the Wolfram Language as the function SinhIntegral[z].

It has Maclaurin series

Shi(z)=sum_(n=0)^(infty)(x^(2n+1))/((2n+1)^2(2n)!)
(2)
=z+1/(18)z^3+1/(600)z^5+1/(35280)z^7+1/(326592)z^9+...
(3)

(OEIS A061079).

It has derivative

(dShi(z))/(dz)=(sinhz)/z
(4)

and indefinite integral

intShi(z),dz=zShi(z)-coshz.
(5)
