New Maxima user has problem

To do this, substitute a lambda form for sinh:

  (%i3) sin(x) * sinh(x^2 + y^2)$
  (%i4) subst(lambda([s], exp(s) / 2 - exp(-s)/2), sinh, %);
  (%o4) sin(x)*(%e^(y^2+x^2)/2-%e^(-y^2-x^2)/2)

Or if you like

  (%i5) subst(lambda([s], exponentialize(sinh(s))), sinh, %o3);
  (%o5) (sin(x)*(%e^(y^2+x^2)-%e^(-y^2-x^2)))/2
