uxx - x2 uyy = 0 (assume x>0) Is there any systematic method (e.g. change of variables) to solve this hyperbolic equation? dy/dx = [B + sqrt(B2 - AC)]/A => dy/dx = x => 2y -x2 = c dy/dx = [B - sqrt(B2 - AC)]/A => dy/dx = -x => 2y + x2 = k So the characteristic curves are 2y -x2 =...

Hello! A book on calculus was introducing hyperbolic functions and pointed out that the identities such as cosh x and sinh x, etc. for hyperbolic functions were analogous to cos x and sin x for circular functions. I tried finding some internet sources explaining why this is so, but they tend to...

Kind of an odd question, but here goes: can anyone offer any examples of physical systems that include the use of the hyperbolic tangent function in their mathematical solution?
