3.5. Built-in Module math
This module is always available.
It provides access to the mathematical functions defined by the C
standard.
They are:
- acos (x) -- function of module math
-
- asin (x) -- function of module math
-
- atan (x) -- function of module math
-
- atan2 (x, y) -- function of module math
-
- ceil (x) -- function of module math
-
- cos (x) -- function of module math
-
- cosh (x) -- function of module math
-
- exp (x) -- function of module math
-
- fabs (x) -- function of module math
-
- floor (x) -- function of module math
-
- fmod (x, y) -- function of module math
-
- frexp (x) -- function of module math
-
- ldexp (x, y) -- function of module math
-
- log (x) -- function of module math
-
- log10 (x) -- function of module math
-
- modf (x) -- function of module math
-
- pow (x, y) -- function of module math
-
- sin (x) -- function of module math
-
- sinh (x) -- function of module math
-
- sqrt (x) -- function of module math
-
- tan (x) -- function of module math
-
- tanh (x) -- function of module math
-
Note that frexp and modf have a different call/return
pattern than their C equivalents: they take a single argument and
return a pair of values, rather than returning their second return
value through an `output parameter' (there is no such thing in Python).
The module also defines two mathematical constants:
- pi -- data of module math
-
- e -- data of module math
