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.

A mong the early publications of theS mithsonian Institution was a very important volume of meteorological tables by Dr. Arnold Guyot. They were so widely used by geographers and physicists as well as by meteorologists that when the fourth edition was exhausted it was decided to recast the entire work and publish three separate volumes, Meteorological Tables, Geographical Tables, and Physical Tables, each of which have now passed through several editions. In the application of the data of these volumes to the study of natural phenomena certain mathematical tables beside those included in ordinary tables of logarithms are urgently needed in order to save recurrent computation on the part of observers and investigators. It was therefore decided to publish the present volume of Mathematical Tables, on Hyperbolic Functions. Hyperbolic Functions are extremely useful in every branch of pure physics and in the applications of physics whether to observational and experimental sciences or to technology. Thus whenever an entity (such as light, velocity, electricity, or radioactivity) is subject to gradual extinction or absorption, the decay is represented by some form of Hyperbolic Functions. Mercator sprojection is likewise computed by Hyperbolic Functions. Whenever mechanical strains are regarded as great enough to be measured they are most simply expressed in terms of Hyperbolic Functions. Hence geological deformations invariably lead to such expression, and it is for that reason that Messrs. Becker and Van Orstrand, who are in charge of the physical work of the United States Geological Survey, have been led to prepare this volume. Charles D. Waixott, Secretary. Washington, D. C., A pril, 1909.
