/**

 * The class {@code Math} contains methods for performing basic

 * numeric operations such as the elementary exponential, logarithm,

 * square root, and trigonometric functions.

 *

 * <p>Unlike some of the numeric methods of class

 * {@code StrictMath}, all implementations of the equivalent

 * functions of class {@code Math} are not defined to return the

 * bit-for-bit same results.  This relaxation permits

 * better-performing implementations where strict reproducibility is

 * not required.

 *

 * <p>By default many of the {@code Math} methods simply call

 * the equivalent method in {@code StrictMath} for their

 * implementation.  Code generators are encouraged to use

 * platform-specific native libraries or microprocessor instructions,

 * where available, to provide higher-performance implementations of

 * {@code Math} methods.  Such higher-performance

 * implementations still must conform to the specification for

 * {@code Math}.

 *

 * <p>The quality of implementation specifications concern two

 * properties, accuracy of the returned result and monotonicity of the

 * method.  Accuracy of the floating-point {@code Math} methods

 * is measured in terms of <i>ulps</i>, units in the last place.  For

 * a given floating-point format, an ulp of a specific real number

 * value is the distance between the two floating-point values

 * bracketing that numerical value.  When discussing the accuracy of a

 * method as a whole rather than at a specific argument, the number of

 * ulps cited is for the worst-case error at any argument.  If a

 * method always has an error less than 0.5 ulps, the method always

 * returns the floating-point number nearest the exact result; such a

 * method is <i>correctly rounded</i>.  A correctly rounded method is

 * generally the best a floating-point approximation can be; however,

 * it is impractical for many floating-point methods to be correctly

 * rounded.  Instead, for the {@code Math} class, a larger error

 * bound of 1 or 2 ulps is allowed for certain methods.  Informally,

 * with a 1 ulp error bound, when the exact result is a representable

 * number, the exact result should be returned as the computed result;

 * otherwise, either of the two floating-point values which bracket

 * the exact result may be returned.  For exact results large in

 * magnitude, one of the endpoints of the bracket may be infinite.

 * Besides accuracy at individual arguments, maintaining proper

 * relations between the method at different arguments is also

 * important.  Therefore, most methods with more than 0.5 ulp errors

 * are required to be <i>semi-monotonic</i>: whenever the mathematical

 * function is non-decreasing, so is the floating-point approximation,

 * likewise, whenever the mathematical function is non-increasing, so

 * is the floating-point approximation.  Not all approximations that

 * have 1 ulp accuracy will automatically meet the monotonicity

 * requirements.
