Numeric and Mathematical Modules
|
********************************
|
|
The modules described in this chapter provide numeric and math-related functions
|
and data types. The :mod:`numbers` module defines an abstract hierarchy of
|
numeric types. The :mod:`math` and :mod:`cmath` modules contain various
|
mathematical functions for floating-point and complex numbers. The :mod:`decimal`
|
module supports exact representations of decimal numbers, using arbitrary precision
|
arithmetic.
|

The following modules are documented in this chapter:
