Simple visual logarithms. Is there such a thing? You bet 🙂
00:00 Intro
01:59 Rubik’s cube and drill
03:26 What’s the area?
05:15 Sum of 1+1/2+1/3+…
06:35 Mystery sum
11:32 What base?
17:25 What is Log_b(x)?
22:14 Is this a circle?
28:53 Proof that e^a = cosh(a) + sinh(a)

Great history of hyperbolic functions by Janet Heine Barnett: https://www.maa.org/sites/default/files/321922717729.pdf.bannered.pdf
Very good wiki summary of hyperbolic function maths. Check out in particular the section "Comparison with circular functions" and "Relationship to the exponential function"

Squeeze mapping and Lorentz transformation

Minute Physics video "Lorentz Transformations | Special Relativity Ch. 3"
Stackexchange discussion of the different ways to pronounce the hyperbolic functions:

Bug alert: The 1 s here https://youtu.be/G0Fa5Zl-Z3c?t=1270 should be x s 🙁
Some neat comments: Call the hyperbolic sine and cosine "shine and coshine"
Hmm… the multiplication by halving and doubling looks awfully like Russian multiplication – never thought of a cross link to logarithms before (In the end quite different. Still neat observation.)
-An arc angle may pay you a visit if you sin too much 🙂
