NAME
math - Mathematical functions.
DESCRIPTION
This module provides an interface to a number of mathematical functions. Note: Not all functions are provided on all platforms. In particular, the erf/1 and erfc/1 functions are not provided on Windows.
EXPORTS
acos(X) -> float() acosh(X) -> float() asin(X) -> float() asinh(X) -> float() atan(X) -> float() atan2(Y, X) -> float() atanh(X) -> float() ceil(X) -> float() cos(X) -> float() cosh(X) -> float() exp(X) -> float() floor(X) -> float() fmod(X, Y) -> float() log(X) -> float() log10(X) -> float() log2(X) -> float() pow(X, Y) -> float() sin(X) -> float() sinh(X) -> float() sqrt(X) -> float() tan(X) -> float() tanh(X) -> float() Types: Y = X = number() A collection of mathematical functions that return floats. Arguments are numbers. erf(X) -> float() Types: X = number() Returns the error function of X, where: erf(X) = 2/sqrt(pi)*integral from 0 to X of exp(-t*t) dt. erfc(X) -> float() Types: X = number() erfc(X) returns 1.0 - erf(X), computed by methods that avoid cancellation for large X. pi() -> float() A useful number.
LIMITATIONS
As these are the C library, the same limitations apply.
