-
Hyperbolic Functions
- Hyperbolic function is an analog of the ordinary trigonometric function, also called circular function.
- The basic hyperbolic functions are the hyperbolic sine "$\sinh$," and the hyperbolic cosine "$\cosh$," from which are derived the hyperbolic tangent "$\tanh$," and so on, corresponding to the derived functions.
- The inverse hyperbolic functions are the area hyperbolic sine "arsinh" (also called "asinh" or sometimes "arcsinh") and so on.
- The hyperbolic functions take real values for a real argument called a hyperbolic angle.
- The size of a hyperbolic angle is the area of its hyperbolic sector.

Hyperbole
- Hyperbole is the use of exaggeration or overstatement to get your point across to your audience.
- Hyperbole comes from the Greek word meaning exaggeration and that is exactly what it is.
- Often, you can identify hyperbolic claims by certain trigger words such as "most," "best," or "worst. " But not all hyperbole is that clear cut.
- Hyperbole is a form of exaggeration.
- State how hyperbole can be used as a stylistic tool in speech

Applications of Hyperbolas
- In the figure, the blue line shows the hyperbolic Kepler orbit.
- Physically, another way to understand hyperbolic orbits is in terms of the energy of the orbiting particle.
- If there is any additional energy on top of the minimum (zero) value, the trajectory will become hyperbolic, and so E is positive in the hyperbolic orbit case.
- Blue is a hyperbolic trajectory (e > 1).

The budget constraint: balancing income, consumption, and saving across time
- As a result, four different models attempted to explain the affect of time on consumption and saving decisions: Fisher's Model of Intertemporal Consumption, Modigliani's Life Cycle Income Hypothesis, Friedman's Permanent Income Hypothesis, and Hyperbolic Discounting.
- They argue individuals are often affected by temporal myopia, where they respond to uncertainty by reducing the importance of the future of their decision making.This is called hyperbolic discounting.

Content
- Don't engage in hyperbole.
- You will not be able to get rid of hyperbole completely, and in general it's not necessary to do so.
- Compared to other forms of miscommunication, hyperbole is not globally damaging—it hurts mainly the perpetrator.

Postsynaptic Potentials and Their Integration at the Synapse
- Most inhibitory neurotransmitters hyperbolize the postsynaptic membrane by making it more permeable to potassium or chloride.
-
Personification
- As a form of hyperbole, we know these animals can't speak English, go on madcap adventures in Disney World or use martial arts to right crime.
-
Pragmatism
- Peirce developed the idea that inquiry depends on real doubt, not mere verbal or hyperbolic doubt.
