Built-in maths functions: min(), max(), abs(), pow(), round(), sum().

The math module adds many more:

math.sqrt(), math.ceil(), math.floor()
math.pi, math.e
math.factorial(), math.gcd()
Trigonometry: math.sin(), math.cos(), math.radians()

Key Takeaways: Python Math

Mastering Python Math helps you write clean and reliable Python code. Follow standard conventions, test edge cases, and keep logic simple. Try running the code example below and complete the exercises to build confidence.

Python Math Code Example

Python

import math

print(min(5, 10, 25), max(5, 10, 25), abs(-7.25), pow(2, 5))
print(math.sqrt(81), math.ceil(1.2), math.floor(1.8))
print("Circle area r=3:", round(math.pi * 3 ** 2, 2))
print("10! =", math.factorial(10))
print("gcd(48, 18) =", math.gcd(48, 18))
