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:
