Formulas

💡 Note that trigonometric functions (sin(), cos(), tan(), asin(), acos(), atan(), atan2()) expect (and return) angles in radians. To convert radians to degrees, divide by (Math.PI / 180). Multiply by the same value to convert degrees to radians.

💡 Many Math functions have a precision that's implementation-dependent. This means that different browsers can give a different result.

Math.abs(x)

Returns the absolute value of a number.

Math.acos(x)

Returns the arccosine of a number.

Math.acosh(x)

Math.asinh(x)

Returns the hyperbolic arcsine of a number.

Math.atan(x)

Returns the arctangent of a number.

Math.atanh(x)
