This module is always available.
It provides access to mathematical functions for complex numbers.
The functions are:
-\iftexi
+
\begin{funcdesc}{acos}{x}
-\funcline{asin}{x}
-\funcline{atan}{x}
-\funcline{cos}{x}
-\funcline{cosh}{x}

-\funcline{log}{x}
-\funcline{log10}{x}
-\funcline{sin}{x}
-\funcline{sinh}{x}
-\funcline{sqrt}{x}
-\funcline{tan}{x}
-\funcline{tanh}{x}
-\end{funcdesc}

-\code{cos(\varvars{x})},
-\code{cosh(\varvars{x})},
-\code{exp(\varvars{x})},
-\code{log(\varvars{x})},
-\code{log10(\varvars{x})},
-\code{sin(\varvars{x})},
-\code{sinh(\varvars{x})},

The module also defines two mathematical constants:
-\iftexi
+
\begin{datadesc}{pi}
-\dataline{e}
+The mathematical constant \emph{pi}, as a real.
+\end{datadesc}
+
+\begin{datadesc}{e}
+The mathematical constant \emph{e}, as a real.
\end{datadesc}
-\else
-\code{pi} and \code{e}.
-\fi
Note that the selection of functions is similar, but not identical, to
that in module \code{math}. The reason for having two modules is,
