* Explain that most floats are actually integers. This is a common confusionTim Peters2004-07-261-0/+8
| | | | for people using floor(), ceil() and modf().
* Typo in new docs.Tim Peters2004-07-261-1/+1
|
* SF bug 996392: math and cmath docs don't specify radiansTim Peters2004-07-241-64/+99
| | | | | | | 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 allTim Peters2003-04-281-2/+3
| | | | return values are floats.
* Clarified new text about math exceptions.Tim Peters2003-04-261-4/+9
| | | | Bugfix candidate.
* Add note about platform-specific behavior arising from discussion on bugSkip Montanaro2003-04-261-1/+11

* Add markup for base parameterNeal Norwitz2002-12-171-2/+2
|
* Apply SF patch 652930: Add optional base argument to math.log(x[, base]).Raymond Hettinger2002-12-141-2/+4
|
* Added degrees() and radians() to mathmodule. Closing patch 552452 andRaymond Hettinger2002-05-131-0/+8

* Do not talk about "real" numbers; talk about "floats" or "floating pointFred Drake2000-12-181-4/+4
| | | | | | | numbers" instead; we have not described "reals" anywhere else in the documentation, and this is not the place to change the story! Reported by Keith Briggs <keith.briggs@bt.com>.
* Fixed legit gripe from c.l.py that math.fmod docs aren't confusing enough.Tim Peters2000-09-161-1/+3
| | | | FRED, please check my monkey-see-monkey-do Tex fiddling!
* remove all occurence of math.rint() from the sourcesPeter Schneider-Kamp2000-08-101-5/+0
| | | | (and yes, "Currintly" also counts <0.5 wink>)
* Tim-blessed documentation for math.frexp().Fred Drake2000-07-031-6/+6
|
* New description for math.frexp() -- poor description noted byFred Drake2000-05-181-2/+6
| | | | Francois Pinard.
* The addition of rint() (by Peter Schneider-Kamp; I forgot to mentionGuido van Rossum2000-05-111-0/+1
| | | | | | that before) in the previous patch has one problem; rint() is not in the C math library on all platforms (e.g. not for VC++). Make it conditional on HAVE_RINT.
* Added math.rint() -- round according to current IEEE754 modeGuido van Rossum2000-05-111-0/+4

* Merged changes from the 1.5.2p2 release.Fred Drake2000-04-031-1/+13
| | | | (Very rough.)
* Markup nits.Fred Drake1999-04-211-8/+5
|
* Rename the parameters of atan2(), based on comments from Guido & PeterFred Drake1998-12-081-2/+2
| | | | A. Koren <pkoren@hex.net>.
* New section header style.Fred Drake1998-08-101-1/+2
| | | | Fix up a few synopses.
* Adjusted to use the new module synopsis support macros.Fred Drake1998-07-231-2/+4
|
* Remove all uses of \sectcode; we can now use logical markup everywhere.Fred Drake1998-04-041-1/+1
|
* Remove obsolete lines like this:Fred Drake1998-04-041-1/+0
| | | | | | | | \setindexsubitem{(in module frobnitz)} These are no longer needed when present before any other \setindexsubitem{} in the module section. The indexsubitem is now set by \bimodindex and \stmodindex.
* Remove all \bcode / \ecode cruft; this is no longer needed. See previousFred Drake1998-02-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | checkin of myformat.sty. Change "\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(...)}" to "\setindexsubitem{(...)}" everywhere. Some other minor nits that I happened to come across.
* Added descriptions for log() and log10().Fred Drake1998-01-221-8/+17
| | | | | | | Clarified that floor() and ceil() return reals. Same for the integer part returned by modf(). Some markup consistency changes.
* Typographical nits: Always set parameter names in \var{} in the running text.Fred Drake1998-01-091-3/+3
|
* Get rid of math mode in some places.Guido van Rossum1997-11-251-3/+3
|
* Restore the \seealso formatting that got lost when I updated the mathFred Drake1997-10-131-1/+3
| | | | module documentation.
* Fixed up formatting.Fred Drake1997-09-301-57/+92
|
* AMK's megapatch:Guido van Rossum1997-07-171-0/+5
| | | | | | | * \bcode, \ecode added everywhere * \label{module-foo} added everywhere * A few \seealso sections added. * Indentation fixed inside verbatim in lib*tex files
* hypot is now always supportedGuido van Rossum1996-02-121-3/+0

* copyright.tex: Add 1995 to copyright message.Guido van Rossum1995-01-041-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | lib.tex: add libimp; remove bogus warning about lineii. libmath.tex: document hypot(). libmd5.tex: rename md5.md5() to md5.new(). libposix.tex: document chown(). libposixfile.tex: openfile() instead of fileopen(). libsocket.tex: document gethostbyaddr(). libtypes.tex: add footnote explaining why readline() keeps the newline. ref3.tex: correct typos, add back*quotes to index. ref4.tex: don't use \verb inside footnote. ref5.tex: explain repr() and str() and add them + back*quotes to index. ref6.tex: correct typo, don't use \verb in footnote. ref7.tex: don't use \verb in footnote.
* add hypot()Guido van Rossum1994-10-201-0/+1
