The number e, the function ex, the logarithmic function in (x) and different hyperbolic functions like cosh (x), sinh (x) make frequent appearances in science and engineering textbooks. Students often fail to appreciate the significance of these mathematical symbols.
This book clearly illustrates why such abstract mathematical entities are needed to represent some aspects of physical reality. It provides an overview of different types of numbers and functions along with their historical background and applications. It contains four chapters covering number system, exponential function, logarithmic functions and hyperbolic functions along with the concept of complex angle.
