Explain that most floats are actually integers. This is a common confusion

2004-07-26T05:12:01+00:00

for people using floor(), ceil() and modf().

Typo in new docs.

SF bug 996392: math and cmath docs don't specify radians

2004-07-24T23:00:24+00:00

Major rewrite of the math module docs.  Slapped in "radians" where
appropriate; grouped the functions into reasonable categories; supplied
many more words to address common confusions about some of the subtler
issues.

Reworded fabs() for consistency with the others. Noted that all

2003-04-28T21:32:03+00:00

return values are floats.

Clarified new text about math exceptions.

2003-04-26T15:11:08+00:00

Bugfix candidate.

Add note about platform-specific behavior arising from discussion on bug

2003-04-26T02:59:00+00:00

711019.

Add markup for base parameter

2002-12-17T01:24:11+00:00

Apply SF patch 652930: Add optional base argument to math.log(x[, base]).

2002-12-14T19:51:34+00:00

Added degrees() and radians() to mathmodule. Closing patch 552452 and

2002-05-13T03:52:47+00:00

feature request 426539.

Do not talk about "real" numbers; talk about "floats" or "floating point

2000-12-18T13:50:24+00:00

numbers" instead; we have not described "reals" anywhere else in the
documentation, and this is not the place to change the story!
