The Math Object contains a list of methods which are used in performing mathematical tasks are as follows:

 

Method

Description

abs()

In order to get the absolute value of a number.

acos()

In order to get the arccosine (in radians) of a number.

asin()

In order to get the arcsine (in radians) of a number.

atan()

In order to get the arctangent (in radians) of a number.

atan2()

In order to get the arctangent of the quotient of its arguments.

ceil()

In order to get the smallest integer, greater than or equal to a number.

cos()

In order to get the cosine of a number.

exp()

In order to get the Ex, where x is the argument, and E is Euler’s constant, the base of the natural logarithms.

floor()

In order to get the largest integer, less than or equal to a number.
