#Math

##Description This unit contains all the mathematical routines. There are three routines that are part of the language, but are conceptually part of the Math unit.

All routines in the Math unit except Math.Distance and Math.DistancePointLine are exported unqualified. (This means you can call the entry points directly.)Math.Distance and Math.DistancePointLine are exported qualified. All constants in the Math unit are exported qualified. (Both Math.PI and Math.E must be prefaced with "Math.".)

Descriptions of all the subprograms in the Math module can be found in this chapter.

##Constants

Math.PI The constant p (3.14...). Math.E The natural base e (2.718...).

##Entry Points
