Foil 122 The java.lang.Math class

From Basic Lectures on Java Language Applets Graphics Networking Trip to China and Icase Tutorial -- July 12-28 and June 10-13 96. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE
This class provides the standard mathematical functions, using types int, long, float and double as appropriate.
It is a static class, meaning that you only use the methods, never creating objects from this class.
The methods include
  • IEEEremainder, abs, ceil, cos, exp, floor, log, max, min, pow, random, sin, sqrt, and other trig functions.
  • The random number generator is a linear congruential generator, which is fast but not random enough for many scientific applications.
