i'm not an expert, but i have worked with "import math".
i believe if you use import math; it will make you capable of using all kinds of math in python (sin,cos,sin^-1......) i recommend you google "python math" or "python import math", and that will take you to the library reference.
its helpful.

Is there a benefit (besides brevity) one way or the other between using:

import math
...
math.pow(x,y)  # x raised to the power y

vs.

x**y

?


Did you try it?

    >>> import math
    >>> print(math.pow(4,4))
    256.0
    >>> 4**4
    256
    >>> 4.0**4
    256.0

Yes, I tried it.
Now, is there a benefit (besides brevity) one way or the other?
