5Numeric and Mathematical Modules

8The modules described in this chapter provide numeric and math-related functions
9and data types. The :mod:`numbers` module defines an abstract hierarchy of
10numeric types. The :mod:`math` and :mod:`cmath` modules contain various
11mathematical functions for floating-point and complex numbers. For users more
12interested in decimal accuracy than in speed, the :mod:`decimal` module supports
13exact representations of decimal numbers.
