The hyperbolic trigonometric functions are analogs of the standard trigonometric functions using a hyperbola as the defining conic section rather than a circle. They are defined as:
- Hyperbolic sine:
- Hyperbolic cosine:
- Hyperbolic tangent:
- Hyperbolic cosecant:
- Hyperbolic secant:
- Hyperbolic cotangent:
