| Numeric and Mathematical Modules | |
| ******************************** | |
| The modules described in this chapter provide numeric and math-related functions | |
| and data types. The :mod:`numbers` module defines an abstract hierarchy of | |
| numeric types. The :mod:`math` and :mod:`cmath` modules contain various | |
| mathematical functions for floating-point and complex numbers. The :mod:`decimal` | |
| module supports exact representations of decimal numbers, using arbitrary precision | |
| arithmetic. | |
| The following modules are documented in this chapter: | |
