Subject: Mathematical formulas - general
Greetings! OK, the intro text reads: > This section describes functions for various mathematical functions, > including trigonometric functions like SIN <file:///SIN>). Note that > the constraint text presumes that a value of type Number is a real > number (no imaginary component). Unless noted otherwise, all angle > measurements are in radians. > Err, what "the constraint text presumes that a value of type Number is a real number (no imaginary component)."? Ah, after taking a break, does this mean that N in the "constraints" text of each function is supposed to be of type Number and a real number? Err, ok, so what happens with ABS? "Constraints: None." Does that mean I can apply ABS to a complex number? (it is defined but I suspect we mean to exclude that and other definitions for absolute value). Ouch. If true, two possible JIRA issues to file: 1) Explicitly state that all functions in mathematical functions accept N of type Number and real number. (Or do we define real number or a source where we can simply cite it?) 2) Once that is corrected, do we need to do anything about an unconstrained ABS function? Hope everyone is having a great day!
