In brief, the Math methods are allowed implementation flexibility in terms of their algorithm but the StrictMath methods are not. The "interesting" StrictMath methods are required to use the FDLIBM algorithms. (One exception is StrictMath.sqrt. Since sqrt is required to be correctly rounded, there is only one correct answer for any given argument and StrictMath.sqrt can be intrinsified to a hardware sqrt instruction just like Math.sqrt can.) ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/12821
