Well, instead of using reeeeeally long linear algebra to fake things like

arctan (to name one trig function), it will be simply:


myNewNumber = Math.atan(myOldNumber);


You will be able to access the Math objects through the dot notation as

above. In the program, it makes more sense when it's in front of you if

you're not familiar with JavaScript.


Most popular uses would be things like drawing dynamic lines between points.

I'm sure others can fill in other uses. :>)
