The Math Functions service provides a series of functions that perform common mathematical operations. (These are similar to the set of methods implemented by the .Net System.Math class).
The following messages are provided
| Request | Display Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Constants | PiandE | Returns the mathematical constants π (pi) and e |
| Acos | ArcCosine | Returns the angle (in radians) whose cosine is the specified number. |
| Asin | ArcSine | Returns the angle (in radians) whose sine is the specified number. |
| Atan | ArcTangent | Returns the angle (in radians) whose tangent is the specified number. |
| Atan2 | ArcTangent2 | Returns the angle (in radians) whose tangent is the quotient of two specified numbers. |
| Cos | Cosine | Returns the cosine of the specified angle (in radians). |
| Exp | Exponent | Returns e raised to the specified power. |
| Log | Logarithm | Returns the logarithm of a specified number. If base is specified as 0 then a natural logarithm (base e) is calculated. |
| Pow | Power | Raises A to the power Exponent. |
| Random | Random | Returns a pseudo-random number between 0.0 and 1.0. |
| Round | Round | Rounds a double-precision floating-point value to the specified precision. |
| Sin | Sine | Returns the sine of the specified angle (in radians). |
| Sqrt | SquareRoot | Returns the square root of the specified number. (The number must be positive). |
| Tan | Tangent | Returns the tangent of the specified angle (in radians). |
| Truncate | Truncate | Calculates the integral part of a specified double-precision floating-point number. |
| ToRadians | ToRadians | Converts a value in degrees to radians. |
| ToDegrees | ToDegrees | Converts a value in radians to degrees. |
