  2. Hyperbole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbole

    Hyperbole (/ h aɪ ˈ p ɜːr b əl i / ⓘ; adj. hyperbolic / ˌ h aɪ p ər ˈ b ɒ l ɪ k / ⓘ) is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. In rhetoric , it is also sometimes known as auxesis (literally 'growth').

  3. HyperRogue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperRogue

    The game is using the alternate binary tiling of the hyperbolic plane. HyperRogue is a turn-based game in which the player controls one character exploring a world based on hyperbolic geometry , with cells arranged as a truncated order-7 triangular tiling by default (with a few exceptions).

  4. Hyperbola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbola

    The word "hyperbola" derives from the Greek ὑπερβολή, meaning "over-thrown" or "excessive", from which the English term hyperbole also derives. Hyperbolae were discovered by Menaechmus in his investigations of the problem of doubling the cube, but were then called sections of obtuse cones. [2]

  5. Hyperbolic distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_distribution

    The hyperbolic distribution is a continuous probability distribution characterized by the logarithm of the probability density function being a hyperbola. Thus the distribution decreases exponentially, which is more slowly than the normal distribution. It is therefore suitable to model phenomena where numerically large values are more probable ...

  6. Hyperbolic growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_growth

    The hyperbolic growth of the world population and quadratic-hyperbolic growth of the world GDP observed till the 1970s have been correlated by Andrey Korotayev and his colleagues to a non-linear second order positive feedback between the demographic growth and technological development, described by a chain of causation: technological growth ...

  7. Hyperbolic coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_coordinates

    Hyperbolic coordinates plotted on the Euclidean plane: all points on the same blue ray share the same coordinate value u, and all points on the same red hyperbola share the same coordinate value v. In mathematics, hyperbolic coordinates are a method of locating points in quadrant I of the Cartesian plane

  8. Hyperbolic space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_space

    Most hyperbolic surfaces have a non-trivial fundamental group π 1 = Γ; the groups that arise this way are known as Fuchsian groups. The quotient space H 2 ‍ / ‍ Γ of the upper half-plane modulo the fundamental group is known as the Fuchsian model of the hyperbolic surface. The Poincaré half plane is also hyperbolic, but is simply ...
