Explain that most floats are actually integers. This is a common confusion
...
for people using floor(), ceil() and modf().

SF bug 996392: math and cmath docs don't specify radians
...
Major rewrite of the math module docs. Slapped in "radians" where
appropriate; grouped the functions into reasonable categories; supplied
many more words to address common confusions about some of the subtler
issues.

return values are floats.

Do not talk about "real" numbers; talk about "floats" or "floating point
...
numbers" instead; we have not described "reals" anywhere else in the
documentation, and this is not the place to change the story!

The addition of rint() (by Peter Schneider-Kamp; I forgot to mention
...
that before) in the previous patch has one problem; rint() is not in
the C math library on all platforms (e.g. not for VC++). Make it
conditional on HAVE_RINT.

Remove obsolete lines like this:
...
\setindexsubitem{(in module frobnitz)}
These are no longer needed when present before any other \setindexsubitem{}
in the module section. The indexsubitem is now set by \bimodindex and
\stmodindex.

Remove all \bcode / \ecode cruft; this is no longer needed. See previous

checkin of myformat.sty.
Change "\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(...)}" to "\setindexsubitem{(...)}"
everywhere.
Some other minor nits that I happened to come across.

Added descriptions for log() and log10().

returned by modf().
Some markup consistency changes.
