libm -- Library COHERENT mathematics library /lib/libm.a The COHERENT mathematics library libm contains the following useful mathematics functions: acos().........Calculate inverse cosine asin().........Calculate inverse sine atan().........Calculate inverse tangent atan2()........Calculate inverse tangent of quotient cabs().........Calculate complex absolute value ceil().........Set numeric ceiling cos()..........Calculate cosine cosh().........Calculate hyperbolic cosine exp()..........Calculate exponent fabs().........Calculate absolute value function floor()........Calculate floor function fmod().........Calculate modulus for floating-point number hypot()........Calculate hypotenuse j0()...........Calculate Bessel function, order 0 j1()...........Calculate Bessel function, order 1 jn()...........Calculate Bessel function, order n log()..........Calculate natural logarithm log10()........Calculate common logarithm pow()..........Calculate power sin()..........Calculate sine sinh().........Calculate hyperbolic sine sqrt().........Calculate square root tan()..........Calculate tangent tanh().........Calculate hyperbolic tangent See Also libmp, libraries, math.h Hart, J.F., et al.: Computer Approximations. New York, John Wiley & Sons, 1968. Press, W.H., Flannery, B.P., Teukolsky, S.A., Vetterling, W.T.: Numerical Recipes in C. New York, Cambridge University Press, 1988. Highly recommended. Notes When programs that contain mathematics routines are compiled, you must explicitly name the mathematics library on the cc command line. For example, to compile the example presented under the entry for acos(), use the following cc command line: cc -f acos.c -lm The -f option links in the floating point routines for printf(), while the -lm option links in the mathematics libraries. Note that the -lm option must come last on the cc command line, or the library will not be searched properly. The related library libmp performs multi-precision arithmetic. With these routines, you can perform arithmetic on extremely large numbers, to an extremely fine precision. For details, see the Lexicon entry for libmp.
