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.
It is the locus of the center of a hyperbolic spiral rolling (without skidding) on a straight line. It is the involute of the catenary function, which describes a fully flexible, inelastic, homogeneous string attached to two points that is subjected to a gravitational field. The catenary has the equation y(x) = a cosh x / a .
The hyperbolastic rate equation of type II, denoted by H2, is defined as = (() ()),where is the hyperbolic tangent function, is the carrying capacity, and both and > jointly determine the growth rate.
Many other mathematical objects have their origin in the hyperbola, such as hyperbolic paraboloids (saddle surfaces), hyperboloids ("wastebaskets"), hyperbolic geometry (Lobachevsky's celebrated non-Euclidean geometry), hyperbolic functions (sinh, cosh, tanh, etc.), and gyrovector spaces (a geometry proposed for use in both relativity and ...
In algebra, a split-complex number (or hyperbolic number, also perplex number, double number) is based on a hyperbolic unit j satisfying =, where . A split-complex number has two real number components x and y , and is written z = x + y j . {\displaystyle z=x+yj.}

The branches of the unit hyperbola evolve as the points (, ) and (, ) depending on the hyperbolic angle parameter . A direct way to parameterizing the unit hyperbola starts with the hyperbola xy = 1 parameterized with the exponential function : ( e t , e − t ) . {\displaystyle (e^{t},\ e^{-t}).}
The hyperbolic plane is a plane where every point is a saddle point. Hyperbolic plane geometry is also the geometry of pseudospherical surfaces, surfaces with a constant negative Gaussian curvature. Saddle surfaces have negative Gaussian curvature in at least some regions, where they locally resemble the hyperbolic plane.
