Teach Yourself

• Hyperbolic functions
  The hyperbolic functions have similar names to the trigonmetric functions, but they are defined in terms of the exponential function. In this unit we define the three main hyperbolic functions, and sketch their graphs. We also discuss some identities relating these functions, and mention their inverse functions and reciprocal functions.

These videos require Windows Media Player (v10).

Please note: You may experience trouble with more recent upgrades to Internet Explorer (now v.7) and Media Player (now v.11). These no longer support streaming from the mms servers used by mathcentre, so we are recommending that you uninstall IE7 (IE6 lies underneath) and replace the new version of WMP with the fully functioning v.10 (you may need to find a download via google after uninstalling v.11). All those that have done this have reported back that everything is working again.
