NAME
math - math functions and constants
SYNOPSIS
#include <<<<math.h>>>>
DESCRIPTION
This file contains declarations of all the functions in the Math
Library (described in Section (3M)).
It also defines the following constants that may be used in
initializations or returned as error values:
HUGE_VAL The maximum value (type double) of a double-precision
floating-point number (IEEE positive INFINITY).
NAN A quiet NaN (Not-a-Number) value (type float).
INFINITY A positive infinity value (type float).
The following mathematical constants are defined for user convenience:
M_E The base of natural logarithms (e).
M_LOG2E The base-2 logarithm of e.
M_LOG10E The base-10 logarithm of e.
M_LN2 The natural logarithm of 2.
M_LN10 The natural logarithm of 10.
M_PI The ratio of the circumference of a circle to its
diameter. (There are also several fractions of pi,
its reciprocal, and its square root: M_PI_2, M_PI_4,
M_1_PI, M_2_PI, and M_2_SQRTPI).
M_SQRT2 The positive square root of 2.
M_SQRT1_2 The positive square root of 1/2.
For the definitions of various machine-dependent constants, see the
description of the <values.h> header file.
