DESCRIPTION

9       This  module  provides  an  interface to a number of mathematical func‐
10       tions.
11
12   Note:
13       Not all functions are provided on all  platforms.  In  particular,  the
14       erf/1 and erfc/1 functions are not provided on Windows.

56       sqrt(X) -> float()
57
58       tan(X) -> float()
59
60       tanh(X) -> float()
61
62              Types:
63
64                 Y = X = number()
65
66              A collection of mathematical functions that return floats. Argu‐
67              ments are numbers.
68
69       erf(X) -> float()
70
71              Types:
72
73                 X = number()
74
75              Returns the error function of X, where:
76
77              erf(X) = 2/sqrt(pi)*integral from 0 to X of exp(-t*t) dt.
78
79       erfc(X) -> float()
80
81              Types:
82
83                 X = number()
84
85              erfc(X) returns 1.0 - erf(X), computed  by  methods  that  avoid
86              cancellation for large X.
87
88       pi() -> float()
89
90              A useful number.
