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').
Hyperbolic may refer to: of or pertaining to a hyperbola, a type of smooth curve lying in a plane in mathematics Hyperbolic geometry, a non-Euclidean geometry; Hyperbolic functions, analogues of ordinary trigonometric functions, defined using the hyperbola; of or pertaining to hyperbole, the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure ...
Daina Taimiņa (born August 19, 1954) [1] is a Latvian mathematician, retired adjunct associate professor of mathematics at Cornell University, known for developing a way of modeling hyperbolic geometry with crocheted objects.
That book is heavier than the dictionary. I could sleep forever. I have too much on my plate. Check out that mountain of books on my bedside table. The line at the grocery store was like Disney World.
The curve represents xy = 1. A hyperbolic angle has magnitude equal to the area of the corresponding hyperbolic sector, which is in standard position if a = 1. In geometry, hyperbolic angle is a real number determined by the area of the corresponding hyperbolic sector of xy = 1 in Quadrant I of the Cartesian plane.
Hyperbolic geometry is a non-Euclidean geometry where the first four axioms of Euclidean geometry are kept but the fifth axiom, the parallel postulate, is changed.The fifth axiom of hyperbolic geometry says that given a line L and a point P not on that line, there are at least two lines passing through P that are parallel to L.

The art of crochet has been used to demonstrate hyperbolic planes (pictured above) with the first being made by Daina Taimiņa, [28] whose book Crocheting Adventures with Hyperbolic Planes won the 2009 Bookseller/Diagram Prize for Oddest Title of the Year.
