The notes and problems in this booklet are intended for students who have completed MAST10013 UMEP
Mathematics and plan to enter Vector Calculus without having done Accelerated Mathematics 2 or Calculus 2
first. The notes cover Hyperbolic Functions and Techniques of Integration. At the end of each chapter there are
exercises given. Students are advised to do as many of these exercises as possible making sure that all topics
are practised.
Students are welcome to ask questions about this material. Please see your Vector Calculus lecturer if you want
any help.

Hyperbolic Functions
Hyperbolic functions are the analogues of the trigonometric functions, sine and cosine. The basic functions
are hyperbolic sine and hyperbolic cosine abbreviated sinh and cosh respectively. From these we can derive
hyperbolic tangent (tanh) and so forth.
Just as cosine and sine (abbreviated sin and cos respectively) are used to parametrize the circle, hyperbolic
sine and hyperbolic cosine are used to parametrize the hyperbola. They also have application to techniques of
integration, modelling of hanging cables, electromagnetic theory, heat transfer and special relativity.
Abbreviations and Pronunciation
These hyperbolic functions are abbreviated and pronounced as follows:
Definition
Before defining the hyperbolic functions we recall the identities of sin and cos that arise from the complex
exponential and Euler’s equation, eiθ = cos θ + i sin θ. The identities are:

The main identity, cosh2 t − sinh2 t = 1, gives a natural way to parametrise the hyperbola. If we set x = cosh t
and y = sinh t, t ∈ R we obtain the right branch of the hyperbola x2 − y 2 = 1. Setting x = − cosh t gives the
left branch.

Techniques of Integration
You will find some exercises in this chapter. Answers are not provided, but can easily be checked by differenti-
ating the result.
One of the greatest challenges for ancient mathematicians was to find the area of objects bounded by curves.
The methods for finding such areas were rather basic until the 17th century when Isaac Newton and Gottfried
Leibniz independently discovered the relationship between derivatives and areas.

Theorem 2.1 (The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus) The area under the graph y = f (x) between x =
a and x = b is
Z b
f (x) dx = F (b) − F (a)
a
d
where f (x) = F (x) and f (x) ≥ 0.
dx
In order to use this theorem we need to study the reverse of differentiation, antidifferentiation.
d
Definition 2.2 A function F is called an antiderivative of f on an interval I if f (x) = F (x) for all x ∈ I.
dx
Alternatively F (x) is the indefinite integral of f (x).
Once we know an antiderivative of a function we can use it find areas. (Note: F is only defined up to a
constant.)
Finding area is not the only application of integration. Integration is also the key to solving differential equations.
These had their origins in physics.

For example acceleration = g = where v is velocity, x is distance travelled and t is time taken. Thus we

∆x dx
Then = v giving velocity = = v. Thus x = gt + c dt = gt2 + ct + d.
∆t dt
Given the height of the tree we can solve for c and d and then calculate the velocity and displacement of the
apple when it hits Newton’s head.
The above is just one sample of a differential equation. There are many other examples in physics, engineering,
chemistry, commerce and biology.

Finding dx when degree Q(x) = q ≤ degree P (x) = p
Q(x)
When degree of P (x) is greater than degree of Q(x) divide P (x) by Q(x) and then use standard integrals and
partial fractions as appropriate.

Notice that the degree of the denominator on the left is 7 which equals the number of constants in the partial
fraction expansion.

Strategy There are no set rules for doing integration by parts. Success is mainly a matter of experience that
comes from doing lots of problems. However there are some useful ways of starting.
