C Mathematical Functions
C mathematical operations are a group of functions in the standard library of the C programming language implementing basic mathematical functions. All functions involve the use of floating point numbers in one manner or another. Different C standards provide different albeit backwards-compatible, sets of functions. Most of these functions are also available in the C++ standard library, though in different headers. The C headers are included only as deprecated compatibility feature.

Famous quotes containing the words mathematical and/or functions:
“As we speak of poetical beauty, so ought we to speak of mathematical beauty and medical beauty. But we do not do so; and that reason is that we know well what is the object of mathematics, and that it consists in proofs, and what is the object of medicine, and that it consists in healing. But we do not know in what grace consists, which is the object of poetry.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“Let us stop being afraid. Of our own thoughts, our own minds. Of madness, our own or others’. Stop being afraid of the mind itself, its astonishing functions and fandangos, its complications and simplifications, the wonderful operation of its machinery—more wonderful because it is not machinery at all or predictable.”
—Kate Millett (b. 1934)
