The math library is documented in section 5.6 of the Reference Manual.[1] Below is a summary of the functions and variables provided. Each is described, with an example, on this page.

math.tan

math.abs

Return the absolute, or non-negative value, of a given value.

> = math.abs(-100)
100
> = math.abs(25.67)
25.67
> = math.abs(0)
0

math.acos , math.asin

Return the inverse cosine and sine of the given value.

> = math.acos(1)
0
> = math.acos(0)
1.5707963267949
> = math.asin(0)
0
> = math.asin(1)
1.5707963267949

math.atan , math.atan2

Return the inverse tangent. We can do this by supplying y/x ourselves using  math.atan  or we can pass y and x to  math.atan2  to do this for us.

> c, s = math.cos(0.8), math.sin(0.8)
> = math.atan(s/c)
0.8
> = math.atan2(s,c)
0.8

math.atan2 should usually be preferred, particularly when converting rectangular co-ordinates to polar co-ordinates. math.atan2 uses the sign of both arguments to place the result into the correct quadrant, and also produces correct values when one of its arguments is 0 or very cl
