SF bug 996392: math and cmath docs don't specify radians

Major rewrite of the math module docs. Slapped in "radians" where
appropriate; grouped the functions into reasonable categories; supplied
many more words to address common confusions about some of the subtler
issues.

Do not talk about "real" numbers; talk about "floats" or "floating point

Mon, 18 Dec 2000 13:50:24 +0000

Do not talk about "real" numbers; talk about "floats" or "floating point
numbers" instead; we have not described "reals" anywhere else in the
documentation, and this is not the place to change the story!

Thu, 11 May 2000 18:42:27 +0000

The addition of rint() (by Peter Schneider-Kamp; I forgot to mention
that before) in the previous patch has one problem; rint() is not in
the C math library on all platforms (e.g. not for VC++). Make it
conditional on HAVE_RINT.

These are no longer needed when present before any other \setindexsubitem{}
in the module section. The indexsubitem is now set by \bimodindex and
\stmodindex.
