This approach can be summarized succinctly as the replacement of the ubiquitous $\gamma$ symbol of most standard treatments with the appropriate hyperbolic trigonometric functions. In most cases, this not only simplifies the appearance of the formulas, but emphasizes their geometric content in such a way as to make them almost obvious.
