Python Math Module

In python, the math module is useful to perform mathematical related operations. The math module has different functions (trigonometric, logarithmic, conversion, etc.) and constants to perform various mathematical tasks.

Math Constants

The following table lists the constants available in the python math module.

Constant	Description
math.pi	It will return the pi value.
math.tau	It will return the tau value.
math.e	It will return the Euler's number.
math.inf	It will return the floating-point positive infinity.
math.nan	It will return the floating-point NaN value.

Following is the example of using the math module constants in python.

import math

 # Print the value of E
 print ("E val:", math.e)
 # Print the positive infinity 
print ("inf val:", math.inf)
 # Print the negative infinity 
 print ("Neg inf val:", -math.inf)
 # Print the value of nan
 print ("nan val:", math.nan)
 # Print the value of pi
 print ("pi val:", math.pi)
 # Print the value of tau
 print ("tau val:", math.tau)

The above python math module constants example will return the result as shown below.

E val: 2.718281828459045
 inf val: inf
 Neg inf val: -inf
 nan val: nan
 pi val: 3.141592653589793
 tau val: 6.283185307179586

Math Functions

Same as constants, the math module has different methods to perform mathematical operations.

Following is the example of using math module functions to perform different operations in python.

import math

 # Print the square root of number
 print (math.sqrt(64))
 # Rounds number up to nearest integer
 print (math.ceil(5.647))
 # Rounds number down to nearest integer
 print (math.floor(5.647))
 # Print the power of number
 print (math.pow(5,3))
 # Print the sine of a number
 print (math.sin(60))
 # Print the cosine of a number
 print (math.cos(60))
 # Print the tangent of a number
 print (math.tan(60))

The above python math module example will return the result as shown below.
