How to convert a hyperbolic system to cartesian?

AI Thread Summary
To convert a hyperbolic coordinate system to Cartesian coordinates, the equations x = a exp(+u) cosh(v) and y = b exp(-u) sinh(v) are provided. The user seeks to express x and y solely in terms of u and v, without needing the coefficients a and b. Clarification is requested on how to derive these expressions without additional information on the coefficients. The discussion highlights the challenge of isolating x and y in terms of u and v while maintaining the relationship defined by the hyperbolic functions. Further assistance is needed to resolve the coefficients a and b in relation to u and v.

Are you trying to solve for u and v in terms of x and y?
 
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...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
