mathThe 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.
