The Math module contains module functions for basic trigonometric and transcendental functions. See class Float for a list of constants that define Ruby’s floating point accuracy.

Constants

PI = DBL2NUM(M_PI)

E = DBL2NUM(M_E)

Input for trigonometric functions must be radians

You must use radians to have the right result. For example to compute the sin of 125 degrees use:

Math.sin(125*Math::PI/180)
