Some neat comments: Call the hyperbolic sine and cosine "shine and coshine"
Hmm... the multiplication by halving and doubling looks awfully like Russian multiplication - never thought of a cross link to logarithms before (In the end quite different. Still neat observation.)
-An arc angle may pay you a visit if you sin too much :)
