Asymptotic growth constant in the exponent for the number of spanning trees on the 2 X infinity strip on the square lattice. - R. J. Mathar, May 14 2006
Arccosh(sqrt(2)) = (1/2)*log((sqrt(2)+1)/(sqrt(2)-1)) = log(tan(3*Pi/8)) = int(1/cos(x),x=0..Pi/4). Therefore, in Gerardus Mercator's (conformal) map this is the value of the ordinate y/R (R radius of the spherical earth) for latitude phi = 45 degrees north, or Pi/4. See, e.g., the Eli Maor reference, eqs. (5) and (6). This is the latitude of, e.g., the Mission Point Lighthouse, Michigan, U.S.A. - Wolfdieter Lang, Mar 05 2013
Decimal expansion for arclength on the hyperbola y^2 - x^2 = 1 from (0,0) to (1,sqrt(2)). - Clark Kimberling, Jul 04 2020

Equals log(1 + sqrt(2)). - Jonathan Sondow, Mar 15 2005
Equals (1/2)*log(3+2*sqrt(2)). - R. J. Mathar, May 14 2006
Equals sum({n>=1, n odd} binomial(2*n,n)/(n*4^n) [see Lehmer link]. - R. J. Mathar, Mar 04 2009
Equals arcsinh(1), since arcsinh(x) = log(x+sqrt(x^2+1)). - Stanislav Sykora, Nov 01 2013
Equals asin(i)/i. - L. Edson Jeffery, Oct 19 2014
Equals (Pi/4) * 3F2(1/4, 1/2, 3/4; 1, 3/2; 1). - Jean-François Alcover, Apr 23 2015
