In the previous tutorial, you learned how to do in-built math methods in your Python program without importing the math modules in Python.
But, Now here you will learn about all mathematical functions by the math module in Python. And you also know how you can use them in your python program.
A modules named Math is already built-in Python. And this module provides you with many mathematical methods. You can use the methods of this module in your Python program.
Before we use the built-in methods of these math modules, let us know how many methods are there in the math modules of Python.
We have provided a list below. Almost all methods of math modules are there:

Tell me one more important thing. Before using the method of the Math module, the Math module has to be imported into your Python program.
We take a simple example and in this example will tell you how to import the Math module of Python into your Python program:
# Square root calculation import math x = math.sqrt(4) print(x)
In the example given above, we imported the math module and also used the sqrt() method of the math module.
Ceil method in python
The math.ceil() method rounds a number upwards to the nearest integer, and returns the result.
#Import math module import math #Round a number upward to its nearest integer print(math.ceil(5.2)) #output 6
Copysign method in python
The math.copysign() method returns a float consisting of the value of the first parameter and the sign(+/-) of the second parameter.
#Import math Module import math #Return the first value, with the sign of the second value print(math.copysign(5, -1)) #output -5, 0
Fabs method in python
Let’s pass a number inside this method and it returns an absolute number.
Result Size: 668 x 459 4 #Import math module import math #Remove - sign of given number print(math.fabs(-55.44)) #Output 55.44
Factorial method in python
Inside this method, we pass a positive integer number and this method gives out the factorial of that number.
#Import math Module import math #factorial of a number print(math.factorial(5)) #output 120
Floor method in python
The python math floor() method is used to round a number to nearest downword integer.
#Import math module import math #Round given number downward nearest integer print(math.floor(1.3)) print(math.floor(5.8)) #Output 1, 5
fmod method in python
Python fmod() method, which is used to calculate the Module of the specified given arguments ( remainder (modulo) of x/y ).
#Import math module import math x = 6 y = 2 #calculate mode print(math.fmod(x, y)) #output 0, bacause 6/2 == 0
frexp method in python
This method returns mantissa and exponent as a pair (m, e) of a given value x, where mantissa m is a floating point number and e exponent is an integer value. m is a float and e is an integer such that x == m * 2**e exactly.
Result Size: 668 x 508 5 #Import math Library import math #mantissa and exponent of a given number print(math.frexp(5)) #output (0.625, 3)
fsum method in python
python fsum() method, which is used to find the sum (in float) of the values of an iterable, it accepts an iterable object like an array, list, tuple, etc (that should contain numbers either integers or floats), and returns sum in float of all values.
#import math module
import math
# iterable objects
a = range(10) #range value
# print sum of all values of the iterable objects
print("fsum(a): ", math.fsum(a))
#output fsum(a): 45.0
isfinite methods in python
math.isfinite() method, which is used to check whether a given number is a finite number or not. And it accepts a number like integer/float, finite, infinite or NaN numbers. Returns True if the argument is a valid python number. Otherwise, return false.
#import math module
import math
x = 10
y= float('inf')
print(math.isfinite(x))
print(math.isfinite(y))
#Output
#True
#False
math.isinf method in python
The isinf method, which is used to checks a given number is infinite or not. If yes, it returns True. Otherwise, it returns False.
#import math module
import math
x = 10
y= float('inf')
print(math.isinf(x))
print(math.isinf(y))
#Output
#False
#True
isnan method in python
isnan() method, which used to check whether a given parameter is a valid number or not. If given number is a valid Python number (Positive or Negative). Then it will return False. Otherwise, return true.
#import math module
import math
x = 10
y= float('nan')
print(math.isnan(x))
print(math.isnan(y))
#output
#False
#TRUE
