Python Math Library provides access to some common math functions and constants.
Python has a set of built-in math functions library and you don't have to do any installation to use it.

min() and max() functions is used to find the lowest or highest value.


Built-in Math Functions

Here is a list of functions and attributes defined in math module with an explanation.
1. min() and max() - lowest or highest value in an iterable:
2. abs() - the absolute (positive) value of a number:
3. ceil(x) - the smallest integer greater than or equal to x.
4. fabs(x) - absolute value of x
5. pow(x, y) - value of x to the power of y (xy).
6. floor(x) - the largest integer less than or equal to x
7. isinf(x) - True if x is a positive or negative infinity
8. ldexp(x, i) - x * (2**i)
9. log2(x) - returns the base-2 logarithm of x
10. sqrt(x) - the square root of x
11. acos(x) - the arc cosine of x
12. asin(x) - the arc sine of x
13. sin(x) - the sine of x
14. pi Mathematical constant 3.14159
15. e mathematical constant 2.71828


The pow(x, y) function returns the value of x to the power of y (xy).

The Math Module

Python has also a built-in module called math.
To use it, you must import math module as:
