### D.11 `math`

The `math` library exports functions that operate on IEEE double precision floating point numbers using the host system's C library. The numbers are represented natively as contiguous blocks of 8 bytes each, and on the virtual side as lists of eight character representations. (More explanation is given in Type Conversions.) These functions take the form

         library('math',f)

where `f` is a character string identifying the function in most cases by its standard name in the C library.
