Publisher's Synopsis
Smithsonian Mathematical Tables: Hyperbolic Functions (1909) is a book written by George Ferdinand Becker. It is a comprehensive guide to hyperbolic functions, which are mathematical functions that are related to the hyperbola. The book is part of the Smithsonian Mathematical Tables series, which was published by the Smithsonian Institution in the early 20th century. The book covers a wide range of topics related to hyperbolic functions, including their definitions, properties, and applications in various fields of mathematics and science. It includes tables of hyperbolic functions, as well as formulas and equations for calculating their values. The book also provides examples of how hyperbolic functions can be used to solve problems in geometry, physics, and engineering.The author, George Ferdinand Becker, was a renowned American geologist and mathematician. He was known for his contributions to the study of mineralogy and petrology, as well as his work on mathematical tables. Becker's expertise in both fields is evident in this book, which is a valuable resource for anyone interested in hyperbolic functions and their applications.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
