Abstract

A Study of hyperbolic functions is both interesting and fruitful because of their important and historical relation to the more elementary branches of Mathematics: Trigonometry, Analytical Geometry and Differential and Integral Calculus. Historically the development of hyperbolic functions has been closely associated with the development of the properties of the circle, ellipse, and hyperbola; the earliest knowledge of the functions rising out of a comparative study of these curves, and resting on more analogy rather than clear definition and proof.
