math — stdlib v6.2.2 (original) (raw)
Mathematical functions.
This module provides an interface to a number of mathematical functions. For details about what each function does, see the the C library documentation on your system. On Unix systems the easiest way it to run man sin. On Windows you should check the Math and floating-point supportdocumentation.
Limitations
As these are the C library, the same limitations apply.

Returns the error function (or Gauss error function) of X.
Where:
erf(X) = 2/sqrt(pi)*integral from 0 to X of exp(-t*t) dt.erfc(X) returns 1.0 - erf(X), computed by methods that avoid cancellation for large X.
Raise e by X, that is eˣ.
Where e is the base of the natural logarithm.
The floor of X.
Returns X modulus Y.
The base-2 logarithm of X.
The base-10 logarithm of X.

This constant is equivalent to a full turn when described in radians.
The same as 2 * pi().
