###
Module Summary

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.

### 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.
