Key concepts

  • Hyperbolic functions are defined in terms of exponential functions.
  • Term-by-term differentiation yields differentiation formulas for the hyperbolic functions. These differentiation formulas give rise, in turn, to integration formulas.
  • With appropriate range restrictions, the hyperbolic functions all have inverses.
  • Implicit differentiation yields differentiation formulas for the inverse hyperbolic functions, which in turn give rise to integration formulas.
  • The most common physical applications of hyperbolic functions are calculations involving catenaries.
