  - ### abs

    public static double abs(double a)
    Returns the absolute value of a double value. If the argument is not negative, the argument is returned. If the argument is negative, the negation of the argument is returned. Special cases: If the argument is positive zero or negative zero, the result is positive zero. If the argument is infinite, the result is positive infinity. If the argument is NaN, the result is NaN. In other words, the result is equal to the value of the expression: Double.longBitsToDouble((Double.doubleToLongBits(a)>>1)

  - ### abs

    public static float abs(float a)
    Returns the absolute value of a float value. If the argument is not negative, the argument is returned. If the argument is negative, the negation of the argument is returned. Special cases: If the argument is positive zero or negative zero, the result is positive zero. If the argument is infinite, the result is positive infinity. If the argument is NaN, the result is NaN. In other words, the result is equal to the value of the expression: Float.intBitsToFloat(0x7fffffff & Float.floatToIntBits(a))

  - ### abs

    public static int abs(int a)
    Returns the absolute value of an int value. If the argument is not negative, the argument is returned. If the argument is negative, the negation of the argument is returned. Note that if the argument is equal to the value of Integer.MIN_VALUE, the most negative representable int value, the result is that same value, which is negative.

  - ### abs

    public static long abs(long a)
    Returns the absolute value of a long value. If the argument is not negative, the argument is returned. If the argument is negative, the negation of the argument is returned. Note that if the argument is equal to the value of Long.MIN_VALUE, the most negative representable long value, the result is that same value, which is negative.

  - ### ceil

    public static double ceil(double a)
    Returns the smallest (closest to negative infinity) double value that is not less than the argument and is equal to a mathematical integer. Special cases: If the argument value is already equal to a mathematical integer, then the result is the same as the argument. If the argument is NaN or an infinity or positive zero or negative zero, then the result is the same as the argument. If the argument value is less than zero but greater than -1.0, then the result is negative zero. Note that the value of Math.ceil(x) is exactly the value of -Math.floor(-x).

  - ### cos

    public static double cos(double a)
    Returns the trigonometric cosine of an angle. Special case: If the argument is NaN or an infinity, then the result is NaN.

  - ### floor

    public static double floor(double a)
    Returns the largest (closest to positive infinity) double value that is not greater than the argument and is equal to a mathematical integer. Special cases: If the argument value is already equal to a mathematical integer, then the result is the same as the argument. If the argument is NaN or an infinity or positive zero or negative zero, then the result is the same as the argument.

  - ### max

    public static double max(double a, double b)
    Returns the greater of two double values. That is, the result is the argument closer to positive infinity. If the arguments have the same value, the result is that same value. If either value is NaN, then the result is NaN. Unlike the the numerical comparison operators, this method considers negative zero to be strictly smaller than positive zero. If one argument is positive zero and the other negative zero, the result is positive zero.

  - ### max

    public static float max(float a, float b)
    Returns the greater of two float values. That is, the result is the argument closer to positive infinity. If the arguments have the same value, the result is that same value. If either value is NaN, then the result is NaN. Unlike the the numerical comparison operators, this method considers negative zero to be strictly smaller than positive zero. If one argument is positive zero and the other negative zero, the result is positive zero.

  - ### max

    public static int max(int a, int b)
