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:
