Foil 57 The Math Object

From Overview of JavaScript I -- Basic Web Scripting Language CPS616 Technologies of the Information Age -- Spring Semester 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox (Tom Scavo)
Math is the only built-in object that does not have a constructor
Its sole purpose is to provide constants (properties) and functions (methods)
The with statement is particularly useful in conjunction with Math: with ( Math ) { x = r*cos( PI/2 ); y = r*sin( PI/2 ); }
