MODULE SUMMARY

Mathematical Functions

DESCRIPTION

This module provides an interface to a number of mathematical functions.

EXPORTS

pi() -> float()

A useful number.

sin(X)
cos(X)
tan(X)
asin(X)
acos(X)
atan(X)
atan2(X, Y)
sinh(X)
cosh(X)
tanh(X)
asinh(X)
acosh(X)
atanh(X)
exp(X)
log(X)
log10(X)
pow(X, Y)
sqrt(X)

Types:
X = Y = number()

A collection of math functions which 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.

Bugs

As these are the C library, the bugs are the same.
