Description

math table holds most commonly used math functions and constants.

Methods math.abs returns absolute value of v math.acos returns arc cosine value of v in radians math.asin returns arc sine value of v in radians math.atan returns arc tangent value of v in radians math.atan2 returns arc tangent value of v1/v2 in radians math.ceil returns smallest integer >= v math.cos returns cosine value of angle rad math.deg returns angle in degrees of radians rad math.exp returns e^v math.floor returns largest integer <= v math.fmod returns remainder of v1/v2 which is v1 - iV2 for some integer i math.frexp returns mantissa [0.5,1- and exponent values of v math.ldexp returns v1*2^v2 math.log returns natural logarithm of v math.log10 returns logarithm 10 of v math.max returns maximum in a list of one or more values math.min returns minimum in a list of one or more values math.pow returns v1 raised to the power of v2 math.rad returns angle in radians of degrees deg math.random returns random real [0,1-, integer [1,n] or real [1,u](with n=1- math.randomseed sets seed for pseudo-random number generator math.sin returns sine value of angle rad math.sqrt returns square root of v math.tan returns tangent value of angle rad vector vectors
