math(3erl)

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.
