الوصف: Special functions like the polygamma, Hurwitz zeta, and Lerch zeta functions have sporadically been connected with the nth derivatives of trigonometric functions. We show the polylogarithm $\text{Li}_s(z)$, a function of complex argument and order $z$ and $s$, encodes the nth derivatives of the cotangent, tangent, cosecant and secant functions, and their hyperbolic equivalents, at negative integer orders $s = -n$. We then show how at the same orders, the polylogarithm represents the nth application of the operator $x \frac{d}{dx}$ on the inverse trigonometric and hyperbolic functions. Finally, we construct a sum relating two polylogarithms of order $-n$ to a linear combination of polylogarithms of orders $s = 0, -1, -2, ..., -n$.
