The derivatives of the hyperbolic functions follow the same rules as in cal-
culus:
! coshz = sinhz and
~tanhz = sech^2 z and

and dz cschz = -cschz coth z.
The hyperbolic cosine and hyperbolic sine can be expressed as
cosh z = cosh x cosy + i sinh x sin y and
sinhz = sinhxcosy + icoshxsiny.
The complex trigonometric and hyperbolic functions are all defined in terms
of the exponential function, so we can easily show them to be related by
cosh(iz)=cosz and sinh (iz)=isinz,
sin(iz) = isinhz and cos(iz) = coshz.
Some of the important identities involving the hyperbolic functions are
cosh^2 z -sinh^2 z = 1,
sinh(z 1 +z2) = sinhz 1 coshz2 +coshz1sinhz2,
cosh (z 1 + z2) = coshz1 coshz2 + sinhz1 sinhz2,
cosh (z + 2?ri) = cosh z,
sinh (z + 2?ri) = sinh z,
cosh(-z) = coshz, and
sinh(-z) = - sinhz.
We conclude this section with an example from electronics. In the theory of
electric circuits, the voltage drop, ER, across a resistance R obeys Ohm's law,
or
En=IR,
where I is the current flowing through the resistor. Additionally, the current
and voltage drop across an inductor, L , obey the equation

Ei=L-.

The current and voltage across a capacitor, C, are related by
