Hyperbolic Functions (hyperbolic sine/cosine/tangent/cosecant/secant/cotangent)
- are analogs of the ordinary trigonometric functions, but defined using the hyperbola rather than the circle
- just as the points (𝑐𝑜𝑠 𝑥, 𝑠𝑖𝑛 𝑥) form a circle with a unit radius, the points (𝑐𝑜𝑠ℎ 𝑥, 𝑠𝑖𝑛ℎ 𝑥) form the right half of the unit hyperbola
