[editar] Summary

Core Object

A built-in object that has properties and methods for mathematical constants and functions. For example, the Math object's PI property has the value of pi.

[editar] Created by

The Math object is a top-level, predefined JavaScript object. You can automatically access it without using a constructor or calling a method.

[editar] Description

All properties and methods of Math are static. You refer to the constant pi as Math.PI and you call the sine function as Math.sin(x), where x is the method's argument. Constants are defined with the full precision of real numbers in JavaScript.

It is often convenient to use the with statement when a section of code uses several Math constants and methods, so you don't have to type "Math" repeatedly. For example,

with (Math) {
   a = PI * r*r
   y = r*sin(theta)
   x = r*cos(theta)
}

[editar] Properties

E: Euler's constant and the base of natural logarithms, approximately 2.718.

LN2: Natural logarithm of 2, approximately 0.693.

LN10: Natural logarithm of 10, approximately 2.302.

LOG2E: Base 2 logarithm of E, approximately 1.442.

LOG10E: Base 10 logarithm of E, approximately 0.434.

PI: Ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, approximately 3.14159.

SQRT1_2: Square root of 1/2; equivalently, 1 over the square root of 2, approximately 0.707.

SQRT2: Square root of 2, approximately 1.414.
