The ``cmath`` module provides some basic mathematical funtions for
|
|
|
|
working with complex numbers.

Functions
|
|
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: cos(z)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Return the cosine of ``z``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: exp(z)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Return the exponential of ``z``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: log(z)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Return the natural logarithm of ``z``. The branch cut is along the negative real axis.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: log10(z)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Return the base-10 logarithm of ``z``. The branch cut is along the negative real axis.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: phase(z)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Returns the phase of the number ``z``, in the range (-pi, +pi].
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: polar(z)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Returns, as a tuple, the polar form of ``z``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: rect(r, phi)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Returns the complex number with modulus ``r`` and phase ``phi``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: sin(z)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Return the sine of ``z``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: sqrt(z)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Return the square-root of ``z``.
|
|
|
|
