  • Grid of curved coordinate lines forming a hyperbolic-type net, with two families of curves crossing at right angles around a central point, spreading out toward the edges.

No! The oposite this! I'm trying to solve for x and y in terms of u and v!

That's exactly what you already have:
x = a exp(+u) cosh(v)
y = b exp(-u) sinh(v)
 
But I want to express x and y only in terms of u and v, only! I don't know what's the coefficients a and b in terms of u and v...
