Hyperbolic Functions

by James McMahon

Hyperbolic Functions: Large Print By James McMahon The volume called Higher Mathematics, the first edition of which was published in 1896, contained eleven chapters by eleven authors, each chapter being independent of the others, but all supposing the reader to have at least a mathematical training equivalent to that given in classical and engineering colleges. The publication of that volume is now discontinued and the chapters are issued in separate form. In these reissues it will generally be found that the monographs are enlarged by additional articles or appendices which either amplify the former presentation or record recent advances. This plan of publication has been arranged in order to meet the demand of teachers and the convenience of classes, but it is also thought that it may prove advantageous to readers in special lines of mathematical literature. 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.

[Tech Nossomy · Rating 3 out of 5]

A reference book on hyperbolic functions, with many forays into geometry, trigonometric functions and polynomials.
The age of the book is shown through the hand-written graphs and the table of numerical values at the end, but still worthwhile for the aspiring engineer. Omitted for example is a treatment of Fourier and Laplace transforms, which are ubiquitous in the analysis of systems of control.
The formulas for integrals 13 and 14 of Article 25 on Elementary integrals can be simplified and the subsequent numerical examples are a few decimals off.
