We construct and explore the properties of a generalization of hy- perbolic and trigonometric functions we cal l superexponentials. The general ization is based on the characteristic second-order differential equations (DE) these functions satisfy, and leads to functions satisfying analogous mth order equations and having many properties analogous to the usual hyperbolic and trigonometric functions. Roots of unity play a key role in providing the periodicity resulting in various properties. We also show how these functions solve the general initial value problem for the differential equations y(n) = y, and a look at the power series expansions reveal surprisingly simple patterns that clarify the properties of the superexponentials.

Hardware double precision is often insufficient to solve large scientific problems accurately. Computing in higher precision defined by software causes significant computational overhead. The application of parallel algorithms compensates for this overhead. Newton's method to develop power series expansions of algebraic space curves is the use case for this application.

Many authors have investigated the congruence relations among the coefficients of power series expansions of modular forms f in modular functions t. In a recent paper, R. Osburn and B. Sahu examine several power series expansions and prove that the coefficients exhibit congruence relations similar to the congruences satisfied by the Apéry numbers associated with the irrationality of ζ(3). We show that many of the examples of Osburn and Sahu are members of infinite families.
