The hyperbolic trigonometric functions are to hyperbolae as the trigonometric functions are to circles. That is, imagine you plot these points on a Cartesian plane for all possible values of t.

双曲三角函数就是对曲线应用三角函数，也就是说，想象将这些点放在笛卡尔平面上来得到t的所有可能值。

That was Cartesian space. When I plot r as a distance out from the nucleus that is sort of our simple-minded planetary model. Now let's look at energy.

笛卡尔坐标系，当我用r表示,离原子核的距离时，那只是我们头脑中简单的,类似行星的模型，现在我们看一下能量问题。
