What is a Hyperbally

by HyperbolicHyperbally 2/10/2008 3:00:00 PM

If you are one of those unfortunately soul who visited this page while scowing the depths of the internets for the meaning of the word Hyperbally, you are now in luck. Truly I'm surprised how how often I find keywords a long the lines of the title in my Google Analytics listing and thus this explanation ought to be counted as a public service. In addition I'll explain the mysterious meaning of this blogs nom de plume which according to some is "odd"

Hyperbally is a quirky alternate spelling of the English noun Hyperbole, derived from the Greek word for excess. According to the Seventh Websters collegiate Dictionary, Hyperbole is an extravagant exaggeration used as a figure of speech.

Hyperbolic has many meanings but everyone agrees that is is an adjective.

  1. of, characterized by, or given to hyperbole.
  2. of, relating to or analogous to a hyperbola.
  3. of, relating to, or being a space in which more than one line parallel to a given line passes through a point.
  4. of, relating to , or being a function related to the hyperbola as a trigonometric function si related to a circle

Hyperbola From the Greek hyperbole, a plane curve generated by a point so moving that the difference of the distances from two fixed points is a constant, or conic section speak, a curve formed by the intersection of a double right circular cone with a plane that cuts both halves of the cone.

Hyperbola have equations similar to ay2 - bx2 = 1 (Verticle opening) or ax2 - by2 = 1 (Horizontal opening) where a and b are positive constant real numbers.

Hyperbola have equations similar to y

 

Hyperbolic Hyperbally is the title of this blog and it should evoke the visions of extravagant rhetoric streaming off to infinity like a hyperbolic trajectory

Well, thanks for the information webmaster! Hyperbolas arise in practice in many ways: as the curve representing the function y = 1/x in the Cartesian plane, as the path followed by the shadow of the tip of a sundial, as the shape of an open orbit (as distinct from a closed and hence elliptical orbit) such as followed by a spacecraft during a gravity assisted swing-by of a planet, more generally any spacecraft exceeding the escape velocity of the nearest planet, or a single-apparition comet (one travelling too fast to ever return to the solar system), or the scattering trajectory of a subatomic particle (acted on by repulsive instead of attractive forces but the principle is the same), and so on.
