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:
“It is by a mathematical point only that we are wise, as the sailor or the fugitive slave keeps the polestar in his eye; but that is sufficient guidance for all our life. We may not arrive at our port within a calculable period, but we would preserve the true course.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If photography is allowed to stand in for art in some of its functions it will soon supplant or corrupt it completely thanks to the natural support it will find in the stupidity of the multitude. It must return to its real task, which is to be the servant of the sciences and the arts, but the very humble servant, like printing and shorthand which have neither created nor supplanted literature.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
