The first known calculation of a hyperbolic trigonometry problem is attributed to Gerardus Mercator when issuing the Mercator map projection circa 1566. It requires tabulating solutions to a transcendental equation involving hyperbolic functions.14
The first to suggest a similarity between the sector of the circle and that of the hyperbola was Isaac Newton in his 1687 Principia Mathematica.15
Roger Cotes suggested to modify the trigonometric functions using the imaginary unit i = − 1 {\displaystyle i={\sqrt {-1}}} to obtain an oblate spheroid from a prolate one.16
Hyperbolic functions were formally introduced in 1757 by Vincenzo Riccati.171819 Riccati used Sc. and Cc. (sinus/cosinus circulare) to refer to circular functions and Sh. and Ch. (sinus/cosinus hyperbolico) to refer to hyperbolic functions.20 As early as 1759, Daviet de Foncenex showed the interchangeability of the trigonometric and hyperbolic functions using the imaginary unit and extended de Moivre's formula to hyperbolic functions.2122
During the 1760s, Johann Heinrich Lambert systematized the use functions and provided exponential expressions in various publications.2324 Lambert credited Riccati for the terminology and names of the functions, but altered the abbreviations to those used today.2526
Main article: Trigonometric functions § Notation
There are various equivalent ways to define the hyperbolic functions.
In terms of the exponential function:2728
The hyperbolic functions may be defined as solutions of differential equations: The hyperbolic sine and cosine are the solution (s, c) of the system c ′ ( x ) = s ( x ) , s ′ ( x ) = c ( x ) , {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}c'(x)&=s(x),\\s'(x)&=c(x),\\\end{aligned}}} with the initial conditions s ( 0 ) = 0 , c ( 0 ) = 1. {\displaystyle s(0)=0,c(0)=1.} The initial conditions make the solution unique; without them any pair of functions ( a e x + b e − x , a e x − b e − x ) {\displaystyle (ae^{x}+be^{-x},ae^{x}-be^{-x})} would be a solution.
sinh(x) and cosh(x) are also the unique solution of the equation f ″(x) = f (x), such that f (0) = 1, f ′(0) = 0 for the hyperbolic cosine, and f (0) = 0, f ′(0) = 1 for the hyperbolic sine.
Hyperbolic functions may also be deduced from trigonometric functions with complex arguments:
where i is the imaginary unit with i2 = −1.
The above definitions are related to the exponential definitions via Euler's formula (See § Hyperbolic functions for complex numbers below).
It can be shown that the area under the curve of the hyperbolic cosine (over a finite interval) is always equal to the arc length corresponding to that interval:31 area = ∫ a b cosh x d x = ∫ a b 1 + ( d d x cosh x ) 2 d x = arc length. {\displaystyle {\text{area}}=\int _{a}^{b}\cosh x\,dx=\int _{a}^{b}{\sqrt {1+\left({\frac {d}{dx}}\cosh x\right)^{2}}}\,dx={\text{arc length.}}}
The hyperbolic tangent is the (unique) solution to the differential equation f ′ = 1 − f 2, with f (0) = 0.3233
The hyperbolic functions satisfy many identities, all of them similar in form to the trigonometric identities. In fact, Osborn's rule34 states that one can convert any trigonometric identity (up to but not including sinhs or implied sinhs of 4th degree) for θ {\displaystyle \theta } , 2 θ {\displaystyle 2\theta } , 3 θ {\displaystyle 3\theta } or θ {\displaystyle \theta } and φ {\displaystyle \varphi } into a hyperbolic identity, by:
Odd and even functions: sinh ( − x ) = − sinh x cosh ( − x ) = cosh x {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\sinh(-x)&=-\sinh x\\\cosh(-x)&=\cosh x\end{aligned}}}
Hence: tanh ( − x ) = − tanh x coth ( − x ) = − coth x sech ( − x ) = sech x csch ( − x ) = − csch x {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\tanh(-x)&=-\tanh x\\\coth(-x)&=-\coth x\\\operatorname {sech} (-x)&=\operatorname {sech} x\\\operatorname {csch} (-x)&=-\operatorname {csch} x\end{aligned}}}
Thus, cosh x and sech x are even functions; the others are odd functions.
arsech x = arcosh ( 1 x ) arcsch x = arsinh ( 1 x ) arcoth x = artanh ( 1 x ) {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\operatorname {arsech} x&=\operatorname {arcosh} \left({\frac {1}{x}}\right)\\\operatorname {arcsch} x&=\operatorname {arsinh} \left({\frac {1}{x}}\right)\\\operatorname {arcoth} x&=\operatorname {artanh} \left({\frac {1}{x}}\right)\end{aligned}}}
Hyperbolic sine and cosine satisfy: cosh x + sinh x = e x cosh x − sinh x = e − x {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\cosh x+\sinh x&=e^{x}\\\cosh x-\sinh x&=e^{-x}\end{aligned}}}
which are analogous to Euler's formula, and
cosh 2 x − sinh 2 x = 1 {\displaystyle \cosh ^{2}x-\sinh ^{2}x=1}
which is analogous to the Pythagorean trigonometric identity.
One also has sech 2 x = 1 − tanh 2 x csch 2 x = coth 2 x − 1 {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\operatorname {sech} ^{2}x&=1-\tanh ^{2}x\\\operatorname {csch} ^{2}x&=\coth ^{2}x-1\end{aligned}}}
for the other functions.
sinh ( x + y ) = sinh x cosh y + cosh x sinh y cosh ( x + y ) = cosh x cosh y + sinh x sinh y tanh ( x + y ) = tanh x + tanh y 1 + tanh x tanh y {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\sinh(x+y)&=\sinh x\cosh y+\cosh x\sinh y\\\cosh(x+y)&=\cosh x\cosh y+\sinh x\sinh y\\\tanh(x+y)&={\frac {\tanh x+\tanh y}{1+\tanh x\tanh y}}\\\end{aligned}}} particularly cosh ( 2 x ) = sinh 2 x + cosh 2 x = 2 sinh 2 x + 1 = 2 cosh 2 x − 1 sinh ( 2 x ) = 2 sinh x cosh x tanh ( 2 x ) = 2 tanh x 1 + tanh 2 x {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\cosh(2x)&=\sinh ^{2}{x}+\cosh ^{2}{x}=2\sinh ^{2}x+1=2\cosh ^{2}x-1\\\sinh(2x)&=2\sinh x\cosh x\\\tanh(2x)&={\frac {2\tanh x}{1+\tanh ^{2}x}}\\\end{aligned}}}
Also: sinh x + sinh y = 2 sinh ( x + y 2 ) cosh ( x − y 2 ) cosh x + cosh y = 2 cosh ( x + y 2 ) cosh ( x − y 2 ) {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\sinh x+\sinh y&=2\sinh \left({\frac {x+y}{2}}\right)\cosh \left({\frac {x-y}{2}}\right)\\\cosh x+\cosh y&=2\cosh \left({\frac {x+y}{2}}\right)\cosh \left({\frac {x-y}{2}}\right)\\\end{aligned}}}
sinh ( x − y ) = sinh x cosh y − cosh x sinh y cosh ( x − y ) = cosh x cosh y − sinh x sinh y tanh ( x − y ) = tanh x − tanh y 1 − tanh x tanh y {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\sinh(x-y)&=\sinh x\cosh y-\cosh x\sinh y\\\cosh(x-y)&=\cosh x\cosh y-\sinh x\sinh y\\\tanh(x-y)&={\frac {\tanh x-\tanh y}{1-\tanh x\tanh y}}\\\end{aligned}}}
Also:35 sinh x − sinh y = 2 cosh ( x + y 2 ) sinh ( x − y 2 ) cosh x − cosh y = 2 sinh ( x + y 2 ) sinh ( x − y 2 ) {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\sinh x-\sinh y&=2\cosh \left({\frac {x+y}{2}}\right)\sinh \left({\frac {x-y}{2}}\right)\\\cosh x-\cosh y&=2\sinh \left({\frac {x+y}{2}}\right)\sinh \left({\frac {x-y}{2}}\right)\\\end{aligned}}}
sinh ( x 2 ) = sinh x 2 ( cosh x + 1 ) = sgn x cosh x − 1 2 cosh ( x 2 ) = cosh x + 1 2 tanh ( x 2 ) = sinh x cosh x + 1 = sgn x cosh x − 1 cosh x + 1 = e x − 1 e x + 1 {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\sinh \left({\frac {x}{2}}\right)&={\frac {\sinh x}{\sqrt {2(\cosh x+1)}}}&&=\operatorname {sgn} x\,{\sqrt {\frac {\cosh x-1}{2}}}\\[6px]\cosh \left({\frac {x}{2}}\right)&={\sqrt {\frac {\cosh x+1}{2}}}\\[6px]\tanh \left({\frac {x}{2}}\right)&={\frac {\sinh x}{\cosh x+1}}&&=\operatorname {sgn} x\,{\sqrt {\frac {\cosh x-1}{\cosh x+1}}}={\frac {e^{x}-1}{e^{x}+1}}\end{aligned}}}
where sgn is the sign function.
If x ≠ 0, then36
tanh ( x 2 ) = cosh x − 1 sinh x = coth x − csch x {\displaystyle \tanh \left({\frac {x}{2}}\right)={\frac {\cosh x-1}{\sinh x}}=\coth x-\operatorname {csch} x}
sinh 2 x = 1 2 ( cosh 2 x − 1 ) cosh 2 x = 1 2 ( cosh 2 x + 1 ) {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\sinh ^{2}x&={\tfrac {1}{2}}(\cosh 2x-1)\\\cosh ^{2}x&={\tfrac {1}{2}}(\cosh 2x+1)\end{aligned}}}
The following inequality is useful in statistics:37 cosh ( t ) ≤ e t 2 / 2 . {\displaystyle \operatorname {cosh} (t)\leq e^{t^{2}/2}.}
It can be proved by comparing the Taylor series of the two functions term by term.

Each of the functions sinh and cosh is equal to its second derivative, that is: d 2 d x 2 sinh x = sinh x {\displaystyle {\frac {d^{2}}{dx^{2}}}\sinh x=\sinh x} d 2 d x 2 cosh x = cosh x . {\displaystyle {\frac {d^{2}}{dx^{2}}}\cosh x=\cosh x\,.}
All functions with this property are linear combinations of sinh and cosh, in particular the exponential functions e x {\displaystyle e^{x}} and e − x {\displaystyle e^{-x}} .38

It is possible to express explicitly the Taylor series at zero (or the Laurent series, if the function is not defined at zero) of the above functions.
sinh x = x + x 3 3 ! + x 5 5 ! + x 7 7 ! + ⋯ = ∑ n = 0 ∞ x 2 n + 1 ( 2 n + 1 ) ! {\displaystyle \sinh x=x+{\frac {x^{3}}{3!}}+{\frac {x^{5}}{5!}}+{\frac {x^{7}}{7!}}+\cdots =\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }{\frac {x^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!}}} This series is convergent for every complex value of x. Since the function sinh x is odd, only odd exponents for x occur in its Taylor series.
cosh x = 1 + x 2 2 ! + x 4 4 ! + x 6 6 ! + ⋯ = ∑ n = 0 ∞ x 2 n ( 2 n ) ! {\displaystyle \cosh x=1+{\frac {x^{2}}{2!}}+{\frac {x^{4}}{4!}}+{\frac {x^{6}}{6!}}+\cdots =\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }{\frac {x^{2n}}{(2n)!}}} This series is convergent for every complex value of x. Since the function cosh x is even, only even exponents for x occur in its Taylor series.
The sum of the sinh and cosh series is the infinite series expression of the exponential function.
The following series are followed by a description of a subset of their domain of convergence, where the series is convergent and its sum equals the function. tanh x = x − x 3 3 + 2 x 5 15 − 17 x 7 315 + ⋯ = ∑ n = 1 ∞ 2 2 n ( 2 2 n − 1 ) B 2 n x 2 n − 1 ( 2 n ) ! , | x | < π 2 coth x = x − 1 + x 3 − x 3 45 + 2 x 5 945 + ⋯ = ∑ n = 0 ∞ 2 2 n B 2 n x 2 n − 1 ( 2 n ) ! , 0 < | x | < π sech x = 1 − x 2 2 + 5 x 4 24 − 61 x 6 720 + ⋯ = ∑ n = 0 ∞ E 2 n x 2 n ( 2 n ) ! , | x | < π 2 csch x = x − 1 − x 6 + 7 x 3 360 − 31 x 5 15120 + ⋯ = ∑ n = 0 ∞ 2 ( 1 − 2 2 n − 1 ) B 2 n x 2 n − 1 ( 2 n ) ! , 0 < | x | < π {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\tanh x&=x-{\frac {x^{3}}{3}}+{\frac {2x^{5}}{15}}-{\frac {17x^{7}}{315}}+\cdots =\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }{\frac {2^{2n}(2^{2n}-1)B_{2n}x^{2n-1}}{(2n)!}},\qquad \left|x\right|<{\frac {\pi }{2}}\\\coth x&=x^{-1}+{\frac {x}{3}}-{\frac {x^{3}}{45}}+{\frac {2x^{5}}{945}}+\cdots =\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }{\frac {2^{2n}B_{2n}x^{2n-1}}{(2n)!}},\qquad 0<\left|x\right|<\pi \\\operatorname {sech} x&=1-{\frac {x^{2}}{2}}+{\frac {5x^{4}}{24}}-{\frac {61x^{6}}{720}}+\cdots =\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }{\frac {E_{2n}x^{2n}}{(2n)!}},\qquad \left|x\right|<{\frac {\pi }{2}}\\\operatorname {csch} x&=x^{-1}-{\frac {x}{6}}+{\frac {7x^{3}}{360}}-{\frac {31x^{5}}{15120}}+\cdots =\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }{\frac {2(1-2^{2n-1})B_{2n}x^{2n-1}}{(2n)!}},\qquad 0<\left|x\right|<\pi \end{aligned}}}
where:
The following expansions are valid in the whole complex plane:
The hyperbolic functions represent an expansion of trigonometry beyond the circular functions. Both types depend on an argument, either circular angle or hyperbolic angle.
Since the area of a circular sector with radius r and angle u (in radians) is r2u/2, it will be equal to u when r = √2. In the diagram, such a circle is tangent to the hyperbola xy = 1 at (1,1). The yellow sector depicts an area and angle magnitude. Similarly, the yellow and red regions together depict a hyperbolic sector with area corresponding to hyperbolic angle magnitude.
The legs of the two right triangles with hypotenuse on the ray defining the angles are of length √2 times the circular and hyperbolic functions.
The hyperbolic angle is an invariant measure with respect to the squeeze mapping, just as the circular angle is invariant under rotation.39
The Gudermannian function gives a direct relationship between the circular functions and the hyperbolic functions that does not involve complex numbers.
The graph of the function a cosh(x/a) is the catenary, the curve formed by a uniform flexible chain, hanging freely between two fixed points under uniform gravity.
The decomposition of the exponential function in its even and odd parts gives the identities e x = cosh x + sinh x , {\displaystyle e^{x}=\cosh x+\sinh x,} and e − x = cosh x − sinh x . {\displaystyle e^{-x}=\cosh x-\sinh x.} Combined with Euler's formula e i x = cos x + i sin x , {\displaystyle e^{ix}=\cos x+i\sin x,} this gives e x + i y = ( cosh x + sinh x ) ( cos y + i sin y ) {\displaystyle e^{x+iy}=(\cosh x+\sinh x)(\cos y+i\sin y)} for the general complex exponential function.
Additionally, e x = 1 + tanh x 1 − tanh x = 1 + tanh x 2 1 − tanh x 2 {\displaystyle e^{x}={\sqrt {\frac {1+\tanh x}{1-\tanh x}}}={\frac {1+\tanh {\frac {x}{2}}}{1-\tanh {\frac {x}{2}}}}}
Since the exponential function can be defined for any complex argument, we can also extend the definitions of the hyperbolic functions to complex arguments. The functions sinh z and cosh z are then holomorphic.
Relationships to ordinary trigonometric functions are given by Euler's formula for complex numbers: e i x = cos x + i sin x e − i x = cos x − i sin x {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}e^{ix}&=\cos x+i\sin x\\e^{-ix}&=\cos x-i\sin x\end{aligned}}} so: cosh ( i x ) = 1 2 ( e i x + e − i x ) = cos x sinh ( i x ) = 1 2 ( e i x − e − i x ) = i sin x cosh ( x + i y ) = cosh ( x ) cos ( y ) + i sinh ( x ) sin ( y ) sinh ( x + i y ) = sinh ( x ) cos ( y ) + i cosh ( x ) sin ( y ) tanh ( i x ) = i tan x cosh x = cos ( i x ) sinh x = − i sin ( i x ) tanh x = − i tan ( i x ) {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\cosh(ix)&={\frac {1}{2}}\left(e^{ix}+e^{-ix}\right)=\cos x\\\sinh(ix)&={\frac {1}{2}}\left(e^{ix}-e^{-ix}\right)=i\sin x\\\cosh(x+iy)&=\cosh(x)\cos(y)+i\sinh(x)\sin(y)\\\sinh(x+iy)&=\sinh(x)\cos(y)+i\cosh(x)\sin(y)\\\tanh(ix)&=i\tan x\\\cosh x&=\cos(ix)\\\sinh x&=-i\sin(ix)\\\tanh x&=-i\tan(ix)\end{aligned}}}
Thus, hyperbolic functions are periodic with respect to the imaginary component, with period 2 π i {\displaystyle 2\pi i} ( π i {\displaystyle \pi i} for hyperbolic tangent and cotangent).
