Excerpt from Hyperbolic Functions

A comparison of the preceding equations 'shows that there exist between the two sets of arguments and functions many interesting analogies and rela tions. The arguments are in each case the ratio of two areas, although the argument of the circular functions may also be defined as a ratio of two lines.

Excerpt from Hyperbolic Functions

Among the early publications of the Smithsonian Institution was a very important volume of meteorological tables by Dr. Arnold Guyot. They were so widely used by geographers and physicists as well as by meteorologists that when the fourth edition was exhausted it was decided to recast the entire work and publish three separate volumes, Meteorological Tables. Geographical Tables, and Physical Tables, each of which has now passed through several editions.

In the application of the data of these volumes to the study of natural phenomena certain mathematical tables beside those included in ordinary tables of logarithms are urgently needed in order to save recurrent computation on the part of observers and investigators. It was therefore decided to publish the present volume of Mathematical Tables, on Hyperbolic Functions.

Hyperbolic Functions arc extremely useful in every branch of pure physics and in the applications of physics whether to observational and experimental sciences or to technology. Thus whenever an entity (such as light, velocity, electricity, or radioactivity) is subject to gradual extinction or absorption, the decay is represented by some form of Hyperbolic Functions. Mercator's projection is likewise computed by Hyperbolic Functions. Whenever mechanical strains are regarded as great enough to be measured they are most simply expressed in terms of Hyperbolic Functions. Hence geological deformations invariably lead to such expression, and it is for that reason that Messrs. Becker and Van Orstrand, who are in charge of the physical work of the United States Geological Survey, have been led to prepare this volume.

In this first reprint of the Hyperbolic Functions a few misprints of trifling importance have been corrected and four values of the exponential have been changed by a unit in the eighth significant place.

In the second reprint of these Tables, several additional minor corrections have been made, usually in the last decimal place.
