  Oh! I did not know you were a contributing author to wikipedia. That is one fantastic page. It's a pity if it's sitting there as a draft. At the least have it on your blog. Half angles substitution is of course a common exercise trying out symbolic integration of many trigonometric integrands. That will s where I encountered it most frequently. The similarity between hyperbolic and trigonometric angle is also one of my favorite things. What I found interesting is that we think in terms of slightly different but equivalent pictures.
