|  | 29 <h2>DESCRIPTION</h2> | 
|  | 30 <p><strong>MathUtil</strong> module provides a variety of common math functions not available in core | 
|  | 31 Perl package or some other useful math utilities. In order to be consistent with other | 
|  | 32 Perl functions, name of all the functions in this package are in lowercase which differs | 
|  | 33 from MayaChemTools naming convention for function names.</p> | 
|  | 34 <p><strong>MathUtil</strong> module provides the following functions:</p> | 
|  | 35 <p> <a href="#generateprimenumbersuptocount">GeneratePrimeNumbersUpToCount</a>, <a href="#generateprimenumbersuptolimit">GeneratePrimeNumbersUpToLimit</a>, <a href="#acos">acos</a>, <a href="#asin">asin</a>, <a href="#ceil">ceil</a> | 
|  | 36 , <a href="#floor">floor</a>, <a href="#log10">log10</a>, <a href="#max">max</a>, <a href="#min">min</a>, <a href="#random">random</a>, <a href="#round">round</a>, <a href="#srandom">srandom</a>, <a href="#tan">tan</a> |
