The first-order derivative is given by
:<math> \frac {\operatorname{sech}^2(z)}{z} - \frac {\tanh(z)}{z^2} </math>
The [[Taylor series]] expansion<math display="block">\operatorname{tanhc} z \approx \left(1-\frac{1}{3} z^2 + \frac {2}{15} z^4 - \frac {17}{315} z^6 + \frac {62}{2835} z^8 - \frac {1382}{155925} z^{10} + \frac {21844}{6081075} z^{12} - \frac {929569}{638512875} z^{14}+O(z^{16}) \right)</math>which leads to the series expansion of the integral as<math display="block">\int _{0}^{z}\!{\frac {\tanh \left( x \right) }{x}}{dx}=(z-{\frac {1}{
9}}{z}^{3}+{\frac {2}{75}}{z}^{5}-{\frac {17}{2205}}{z}^{7}+{\frac {62
}{25515}}{z}^{9}-{\frac {1382}{1715175}}{z}^{11}+O \left( {z}^{13} \right) )</math>
The [[Padé approximant]] is<math display="block"> \operatorname{tanhc} \left( z \right) = \left( 1+{\frac {7}{51}}\,{z}^{2}+{\frac {1}{255}}\,{z}^{4}+{\frac {2}{69615}}\,{z}^{6}+{\frac {1}{34459425}}\,{z}^{8} \right) \left( 1+{\frac {8}{17}}\,{z}^{2}+{\frac {7}{255}}\,{z}^{4}+{\frac {4}{9945}}\,{z}^{6}+{\frac {1}{765765}}\,{z}^{8} \right) ^{-1}
