  31  * The class {@code Math} contains methods for performing basic
  32  * numeric operations such as the elementary exponential, logarithm,
  33  * square root, and trigonometric functions.
  34  *
  35  * <p>Unlike some of the numeric methods of class
  36  * {@code StrictMath}, all implementations of the equivalent
  37  * functions of class {@code Math} are not defined to return the
  38  * bit-for-bit same results.  This relaxation permits
  39  * better-performing implementations where strict reproducibility is
  40  * not required.
  41  *
  42  * <p>By default many of the {@code Math} methods simply call
  43  * the equivalent method in {@code StrictMath} for their
  44  * implementation.  Code generators are encouraged to use
  45  * platform-specific native libraries or microprocessor instructions,
  46  * where available, to provide higher-performance implementations of
  47  * {@code Math} methods.  Such higher-performance
  48  * implementations still must conform to the specification for
  49  * {@code Math}.
  50  *
  51  * <p>The quality of implementation specifications concern two
  52  * properties, accuracy of the returned result and monotonicity of the
  53  * method.  Accuracy of the floating-point {@code Math} methods
  54  * is measured in terms of <i>ulps</i>, units in the last place.  For
  55  * a given floating-point format, an ulp of a specific real number
  56  * value is the distance between the two floating-point values
  57  * bracketing that numerical value.  When discussing the accuracy of a
  58  * method as a whole rather than at a specific argument, the number of
  59  * ulps cited is for the worst-case error at any argument.  If a
  60  * method always has an error less than 0.5 ulps, the method always
  61  * returns the floating-point number nearest the exact result; such a
  62  * method is <i>correctly rounded</i>.  A correctly rounded method is
  63  * generally the best a floating-point approximation can be; however,
  64  * it is impractical for many floating-point methods to be correctly
  65  * rounded.  Instead, for the {@code Math} class, a larger error
  66  * bound of 1 or 2 ulps is allowed for certain methods.  Informally,
  67  * with a 1 ulp error bound, when the exact result is a representable
  68  * number, the exact result should be returned as the computed result;
  69  * otherwise, either of the two floating-point values which bracket
  70  * the exact result may be returned.  For exact results large in
  71  * magnitude, one of the endpoints of the bracket may be infinite.
  72  * Besides accuracy at individual arguments, maintaining proper
  73  * relations between the method at different arguments is also
  74  * important.  Therefore, most methods with more than 0.5 ulp errors
  75  * are required to be <i>semi-monotonic</i>: whenever the mathematical
  76  * function is non-decreasing, so is the floating-point approximation,
  77  * likewise, whenever the mathematical function is non-increasing, so
  78  * is the floating-point approximation.  Not all approximations that
  79  * have 1 ulp accuracy will automatically meet the monotonicity
  80  * requirements.
