Class StrictMath provides basic math constants and operations such as trigonometric functions, hyperbolic functions, exponential, logarithms, etc.
In contrast to class Java.Lang.Math, the methods in this class return exactly the same results on all platforms. Algorithms based on these methods thus behave the same (e.g. regarding numerical convergence) on all platforms, complying with the slogan "write once, run everywhere". On the other side, the implementation of class StrictMath may be less efficient than that of class Math, as class StrictMath cannot utilize platform specific features such as an extended precision math co-processors.
The methods in this class are specified using the "Freely Distributable Math Library" (fdlibm), version 5.3.
