Exploring the Python math Module (Summary)
In this course, you learned about the Python math module. The module provides useful functions for performing mathematical calculations that have many practical applications.
In this course, you’ve learned:
- What the Python
mathmodule is - How to use
mathfunctions with practical examples - What the constants of the
mathmodule, including pi, tau, and Euler’s number are - What the differences between built-in functions and
mathfunctions are - What the differences between
math,cmath, and NumPy are
Understanding how to use the math functions is the first step. Now it’s time to start applying what you learned to real-life situations and math problems.
Congratulations, you made it to the end of the course! What’s your #1 takeaway or favorite thing you learned? How are you going to put your newfound skills to use? Leave a comment in the discussion section and let us know.

There are several Python modules that deal with mathematical computations, but don’t overlook the math module. It’s part of the standard library, so it’s always there for you whenever you’re working on applications that require mathematical computations, and you’ll benefit from all of the optimizations that have been done in these functions to make sure that your applications are running smoothly and efficiently. All right!
