Calculus of the Hyperbolic Functions

Hyperbolic cosine and sine combine exponentials into a new pair of functions whose derivatives swap like the trigonometric pair, whose identity cosh squared minus sinh squared equals one describes a hyperbola, and whose inverses integrate the square root of sums.
