Module Math is a basic library for numerical computations. It offers the most frequently used functions and constants.
PROCEDURE Pi (): REAL
Returns an approximation of the value of pi.
PROCEDURE Radians(angle : REAL): REAL;
Returns the value of the 'angle' in radians.
PROCEDURE Random (): REAL;
Returns random number from 0.0 to 1.0.
* Powers and logarithms *
PROCEDURE Sqrt (x: REAL): REAL
Returns the square root of x. Precondition: x >= 0.0
PROCEDURE Exp (x: REAL): REAL
Returns e^x.
PROCEDURE Ln (x: REAL): REAL
Returns the natural logarithm of x. Precondition: x >= 0.0
PROCEDURE Log (x: REAL): REAL
Returns the logarithm to the basis 10 of x. Precondition: x >= 0.0
PROCEDURE Power (x, y: REAL): REAL
Returns x^y. Precondition: x >= 0.0
PROCEDURE IntPower (x: REAL; n: INTEGER): REAL
Returns x^n. IntPower(0, 0) gives 1.
* Trigonometric and hyperbolic functions *
The arguments for all trigonometric and hyperbolic functions must be given in radians, and the inverse trigonometric and hyperbolic functions are calculated in radians (1 radian = 180/pi degrees).
PROCEDURE Sin (x: REAL): REAL
Returns the sine of x. Postcondition: -1.0 <= result <= 1.0
PROCEDURE Cos (x: REAL): REAL
Returns the cosine of x. Postcondition: -1.0 <= result <= 1.0
PROCEDURE Tan (x: REAL): REAL
Returns the tangent of x.
PROCEDURE ArcSin (x: REAL): REAL
Returns the arcus sine of x. Precondition: -1.0 <= x <= 1.0 Postcondition: -pi/2.0 <= result <= pi/2.0
PROCEDURE ArcCos (x: REAL): REAL
Returns the arcus cosine of x. Precondition: -1.0 <= x <= 1.0 Postcondition: 0.0 <= result <= pi
PROCEDURE ArcTan (x: REAL): REAL
Returns the arcus tangent of x. Postcondition: -pi/2.0 <= result <= pi/2.0
PROCEDURE ArcTan2 (y, x: REAL): REAL
Returns the argument (angle) of the complex number x + iy measured anti-clockwise from the positive real axis. Postcondition: -pi < result <= pi
PROCEDURE Sinh (x: REAL): REAL
Returns the hyperbolic sine of x.
PROCEDURE Cosh (x: REAL): REAL

Returns the inverse hyperbolic sine of x.
PROCEDURE ArcCosh (x: REAL): REAL;
Returns the inverse hyperbolic cosine of x. Precondition: 1.0 <= x Postcondition: 0.0 <= result
PROCEDURE ArcTanh (x: REAL): REAL;
Returns the inverse hyperbolic tangent of x. Precondition: -1.0 <= x <= 1.0
* Miscellaneous functions *
PROCEDURE Sign (x: REAL): REAL
Returns the sign um function of x, that is 1.0 if x > 0.0, -1.0 if x < 0.0 and 0.0 with the sign of x if x = 0.0. Postcondition: result IN {-1.0, 0.0, 1.0}
PROCEDURE Floor (x: REAL): REAL
Returns the greatest integer less than or equal to x. Identical to FLOOR(x).
PROCEDURE Ceiling (x: REAL): REAL
Returns the smallest integer greater than or equal to x.
PROCEDURE Trunc (x: REAL): REAL
Trunc truncates its argument to the next nearest integer towards zero.
PROCEDURE Round (x: REAL): REAL
Same as Floor(x + 0.5).
