atan2(y, x)

Return the arc tangent (measured in radians) of y/x. Unlike atan(y/x), the signs of both x and y are considered.

ceil(x)

Return the ceiling of x as a float. This is the smallest integral value >= x.

degrees(x)

Returns:

converts angle x from radians to degrees

floor(x)

Return the floor of x as a float. This is the largest integral value <= x.

fmod(x, y)

Return fmod(x, y), according to platform C. x % y may differ.

frexp(x)

Return the mantissa and exponent of x, as pair (m, e). m is a float and e is an int, such that x = m * 2.**e. If x is 0, m and e are both 0. Else 0.5 <= abs(m) < 1.0.

ldexp(x, i)

Returns:

x * (2**i)

log(x, base=...)

If the base not specified, returns the natural logarithm (base e) of x.

Returns:

the logarithm of x to the given base

log10(x)

Returns:

the base 10 logarithm of x.

modf(x)

Return the fractional and integer parts of x. Both results carry the sign of x. The integer part is returned as a real.

radians(x)

Returns:

converts angle x from degrees to radians
