What are Hyperbolas? | Ch 1, Hyperbolic Trigonometry
This is the first chapter in a series about hyperbolas from first principles, reimagining trigonometry using hyperbolas instead of circles. This first chapter defines hyperbolas and hyperbolic relationships and sets some foreshadowings for later chapters
This is my completed submission to the #some2 contest, put on by @3blue1brown.

    This is pure BS. Trigonometric functions are secants of unit circle corresponding to a given length of arc. Using double areas of circle sectors will also do. Hyperbolic functions are exactly same secants of unit hyperbola except arc length will not do in this case and only area of sector is used as argument () In American textbooks function are denoted as sinh and sinh^-1 in Europe they use more relevant notation as sh(x) and arsh(y) read "area-sinus-hyperbolic"

      Yes the gudemannian function relates circular and hyperbolic trig functions, such that tan(θ)=sinh(φ) and sec(θ)=cosh(φ). Lol we're not there yet. I'm not claiming to come up with anything new other than simply this: It would be nice to have a treatment of hyperbolic trig that starts from right triangles and ratio definitions like we do for circular trig. Some interesting geometry, algebra, and intuitions fall out as a result. One benefit, for example, is that the forward-backward transforms that come up in calculus, such as arsinh(cosh(x)) have nice geometric methods that parallel those in circular trig, but I never see it taught that way.

    Thank you for this channel. There are not enough videos about hyperbolic trigonometry taking this more fundamental approach. I hope you make a few follow up videos... especially on why it's natural that the hyperbolic trig functions contain the exponential function in the way they do. What's the connection between fixed-leg triangles and exponentials?

    • @arithknot9740
      @arithknot9740 2 місяці тому

      In short, we can parameterize the hyperbola as (x,y) = (cosh φ, sinh φ). But we can define new coordinates along the asymptotes: (a, b) = (0.5 e^φ, 0.5 e^(-φ)). Geometrically, we can see this relationship in the unit hyperbola as we draw a perpendicular from the asymptote to our point. This will be the topic of the second and third videos.

    • @arithknot9740
      @arithknot9740 3 місяці тому

      There is, but it's not quite the same. In that method, you take a triangle at one fixed level of extension, and apply hyperbolic rotation to it. But we haven't discussed hyperbolic angle or hyperbolic rotation yet. So that's coming later.

    3:14 is that the case just for the unit hyperbola if not what it would be for hyperbola of form (x/a)^2 - (y/b)^2 = 1 what the fixed length would be?

    • @arithknot9740
      @arithknot9740 7 місяців тому

      That's a non-square hyperbola. That would be like asking what the radius of an ellipse is. If a=b, then it's a square hyperbola. (x/a)^2 - (y/a)^2 = 1 x^2 - y^2 = a^2 So it has a fixed length of a. But yeah, if a doesn't equal b, you have an x-stretch that is different than the y-stretch, and you get a non-square hyperbola. The question I left hanging was how one might get a non-square hyperbola in the triangle context, or if that even makes sense.

    Finally something sensible. I am really not interested in defining hyperbolic functions in terms of exponentials- the typical way to define hyperbolic functions. Instead, I want to study the geometry of hyperbolas and then try to understand how it relates with exponentials. If you didn't know, e was defined using hyperbola before Euler changed it. Happy to see someone talking about it the way I want to learn it...

      @@arithknot9740 Oh, sounds exciting! Please do it, I'll be waiting for it. My fascination for this came with the idea that e^(ix) can be thought of as (e^x)^i and e^x being coshx + sinhx, e^(ix) would be cosh(ix) + sinh(ix), which is cosx + isinx - Euler's formula So De Moivre's formula applies not only to e^(ix), but also to e^x. Just like e^(inx) = (cosx + isinx)^n = cos(nx) + isin(nx), We have e^(nx) = (coshx + sinhx)^n = cosh(nx) + sinh(nx) And so e^(ix) = (coshx + sinhx)^i = cosh(ix) + sinh(ix) = cosx + isinx

      There's other fun connections to be had also. If you're that comfortable with the complex math, then you might appreciate something _far_ later I have planned in the series: the tie-in to split-complex numbers. If you've had any linear algebra, it is fairly easy to verify that the square of the matrix 0 -1 1 0 is -1 times the identity matrix. We can use this matrix as i in the field of 2x2 square matrices. If we instead use j = 0 1 1 0 this gives hyperbolic geometry when plotted on the real and j axes instead of the circular geometry that results from i above. j^2 = 1. e^jx = cosh x + jsinh x

      @@arithknot9740 Fascinating. Let C = 0 -1 1 0 Let H = 0 1 1 0 Then, C^2 = -I and H^2 = I where I is the identity matrix. Then (complex) exponential of matrix A can be written as: e^(CA) = cos(A) + Csin(A) e^(A) = cosh(A) + Hsinh(A) Am I correct? Another interesting observation. The matrix C transforms a point (x,y) into (-y,x). For unit circle, y = sinθ and x = cosθ. So the point (cosθ, sinθ) is transformed to (-sinθ, cosθ). Interestingly, the rotation matrix in 2 dimensions is cosθ -sinθ sinθ cosθ Plug in θ = 90° and you get C. Goes on to show rotation by 90° just like i. H transforms (x,y) to (y,x). Kind of an identity matrix because it doesn't scale the vector. But also not because it changes the point.

    • @arithknot9740

      Some greater care has to be taken when you take e to the power of a 2x2 matrix. It does work nicely, but it's worth going through the steps to see why it works as you expect. Let me just leave you with a few leads for now: 1) Search for split complex numbers 2) The rotation matrix by θ is cosθ -sinθ sinθ cosθ which can be decomposed into its I and C parts (since cosθ and sinθ are just scalars) I cosθ + C sinθ The same can be done for the hyperbolic rotation matrix, rotating by an arbitrary hyperbolic angle φ: coshφ sinhφ sinhφ coshφ Which decomposes into I and H components: I coshφ + H sinhφ

What you should have said is "Take a right angled triangle with hypotenuse h, and two sides a and b. let the side A be fixed to 1. Plot the graph showing the length of the hypotenuse h against the length of the other sideb . The equation of the line formed is derived from pythagoras . h2 = 1+b2.
