Answer:
List of Functions in Python Math Module
Function Description
ceil(x) Returns the smallest integer greater than or equal to x.
copysign(x, y) Returns x with the sign of y
fabs(x) Returns the absolute value of x
factorial(x) Returns the factorial of x
floor(x) Returns the largest integer less than or equal to x
fmod(x, y) Returns the remainder when x is divided by y
frexp(x) Returns the mantissa and exponent of x as the pair (m, e)
fsum(iterable) Returns an accurate floating point sum of values in the iterable
isfinite(x) Returns True if x is neither an infinity nor a NaN (Not a Number)
Answer:
The math module is a standard module in Python and is always available. To use mathematical functions under this module, you have to import the module using import math.
It gives access to the underlying C library functions. For example,
# Square root calculation
import math
math.sqrt(4)
This module does not support complex datatypes. The cmath module is the complex counterpart.
