Using mathematical functions is an integral part of any programming task. Python provides a host of mathematical functions. All the mathematical functions are provided through the module called "math".
The math module offers mathematical constants as well as mathematical functions. The categories of mathematical functions include basic functions, trigonometrical functions, logarithmic functions and so on.
To invoke any mathematical function either on the python interpreter console or inside a python program with extension .py, the math module needs to be imported.

Example program using functions from python math module
|
import math
#Find 2 to the power 5 math.pow(2,5)
#Find square root of 32 squareRoot = math.sqrt(32) print("Square root of 32:{}".format(squareRoot))
#Find GCD of 32, 58 integer1 = 32 integer2 = 58 gcdValue=math.gcd(32, 58) print("GCD of numbers {} {}:{}".format(integer1,integer2,gcdValue))
#Find ceiling of 9.99 findCeilFor = 9.99 ceiling = math.ceil(findCeilFor)
print("Ceiling of {}:{}".format(findCeilFor,ceiling))
#Find floor of 100.25 findFloorFor = 100.25 floor = math.floor(100.25) print("Floor of {}:{}".format(findFloorFor,floor)) |
