GeezerVison is showing docs.python.org — 9. Numeric and Mathematical Modules — Python 2.7.18 documentation

This document is for an old version of Python that is no longer supported. You should upgrade and read the Python documentation for the current stable release.

9. Numeric and Mathematical Modules¶

The modules described in this chapter provide numeric and math-related functions and data types. The numbers module defines an abstract hierarchy of numeric types. The math and cmath modules contain various mathematical functions for floating-point and complex numbers. For users more interested in decimal accuracy than in speed, the decimal module supports exact representations of decimal numbers.

The following modules are documented in this chapter:

  • 9.1. numbers — Numeric abstract base classes
    • 9.1.1. The numeric tower
    • 9.1.2. Notes for type implementors
      • 9.1.2.1. Adding More Numeric ABCs
      • 9.1.2.2. Implementing the arithmetic operations
  • 9.2. math — Mathematical functions
    • 9.2.1. Number-theoretic and representation functions
    • 9.2.2. Power and logarithmic functions
    • 9.2.3. Trigonometric functions
