atan2 Calculates the angle theta from the conversion of rectangular coordinates (a, b) to polar coordinates (r, theta).
cbrt Calculates the cube root of a float value.
ceil Calculates the smallest (closest to negative infinity) double value that is greater than or equal to the argument and is equal to a mathematical integer.
copySign Calculates the first floating-point argument with the sign of the second floating-point argument.
cos Calculates the trigonometric cosine of an angle.
cosh Calculates the hyperbolic cosine of a float value.
