Overview

Hyperbolic Functions: Large Print By James McMahon This compendium of hyperbolic trigonometry was first published as a chapter in Merriman and Woodward's Higher Mathematics. There is reason to believe that it supplies a need, being adapted to two or three different types of readers. College students who have had elementary courses in trigonometry, analytic geometry, and differential and integral calculus, and who wish to know something of the hyperbolic trigonometry on account of its important and historic relations to each of those branches, will, it is hoped, find these relations presented in a simple and comprehensive way in the first half of the work. Readers who have some interest in imaginaries are then introduced to the more general trigonometry of the complex plane, where the circular and hyperbolic functions merge into one class of transcendents, the singly periodic functions, having either a real or a pure imaginary period. For those who also wish to view the subject in some of its practical relations, numerous applications have been selected so as to illustrate the various parts of the theory, and to show its use to the physicist and engineer, appropriate numerical tables being supplied for these purposes. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
