The point is that we should be wary of hyperbolic predictions.

Before hyperbolic geometry, mathematicians knew about two kinds of space Euclidean space, and spherical space.

Yes, a startling statistic, combined with some hyperbolic prose, will make us sit up and pay attention.

SP ... These four things. Prospect theory, hyperbolic discounting, status quo bias, base rate bias. They're all well documented.

And that's exactly what happened when Daina Taimina in 1997, showed that you could crochet models in hyperbolic space.

From this we see that the sum of angles of a triangle in the hyperbolic plane must be smaller than 180 .

It works equally well for the circular, elliptical, parabolic, and hyperbolic cases, the differential equations converging well when integrated for any orbit.

The hyperbolic distribution The hyperbolic secant distribution The Johnson SU distribution The Landau distribution The Laplace distribution The Lévy skew alpha stable distribution or stable distribution is a family of distributions often used to characterize financial data and critical behavior the Cauchy distribution, Holtsmark distribution, Landau distribution, Lévy distribution and normal distribution are special cases.

The spacecraft would approach Mars on a hyperbolic orbit, and a final retrograde burn would slow the spacecraft enough to be captured by Mars.

The hyperbolic pattern of the world population growth arises from a second order positive feedback between the population size and the rate of technological growth.

Consider the hyperbolic debate over the Keystone XL pipeline, which would funnel oil from Canada s Athabasca tar sands in northeastern Alberta to refineries on the Texas Gulf Coast.

So, very interesting parallels between the biological and the engineering worlds. And interestingly, this turns out the stomatopod saddle turns out to be the first described biological hyperbolic paraboloid spring.

It is suggested that the similarity between the curves of biodiversity and human population probably comes from the fact that both are derived from the interference of the hyperbolic trend with cyclical and stochastic dynamics.

But many commentators hyperbolic depiction of a shareholders spring, with its resonance of ousted Arab dictators, is inappropriate for several reasons, not the least of which is the fact that the Arab Spring actually toppled regimes.

Hyperbolic overkill is a way of taking exaggeration to the absolute ultimate limit, just for the fun of it. This was a piece I did a brochure again RMS Tyrannic The Biggest Thing in All the World.

Margaret Wertheim leads a project to re create the creatures of the coral reefs using a crochet technique invented by a mathematician celebrating the amazements of the reef, and deep diving into the hyperbolic geometry underlying coral creation.

It might be hyperbolic to say that the city is holding its breath. Lately, however, Moscow has reportedly increased weapons transfers into the separatist enclaves and it has been peddling a rhetorical line about the ceasefire being functionally dead.

Even mathematicians, who in some sense are the freest of all thinkers, literally couldn't see not only the sea slugs around them, but the lettuce on their plate because lettuces, and all those curly vegetables, they also are embodiments of hyperbolic geometry.

But through this sort of modality, crochet, other plastic forms of play people can be engaged with the most abstract, high powered, theoretical ideas, the kinds of ideas that normally you have to go to university departments to study in higher mathematics, which is where I first learned about hyperbolic space.
