Python: Dates and Times
A date in Python is not a data type of its own, but we can import
a module named datetime to work with dates as date objects.

import datetime

x = datetime.datetime.now()
print(x)

the result will be: 2025-05-04 19:28:18.861600


The date contains year, month, day, hour, minute, second, and
microsecond.

Python: Built in math function
Python has a set of built-in math functions, including an extensive math
module, that allows you to perform mathematical tasks on numbers.

x = min(5, 10, 25)


y = max(5, 10, 25)
The min() and max() functions can be used
to find the lowest or highest value
print(x)
print(y)
Python: Built in math function

The abs() function returns the x = abs(-7.25)


absolute (positive) value of the
specified number: print(x)

x = pow(4, 3)
The pow(x, y) function returns the
value of x to the power of y : xy
print(x)
Python: Math Module

Python has also a built-in module


called math, which extends the list
of mathematical functions.

To use it, you must import


the math module:

import math
The math.sqrt() method for example,
x = math.sqrt(64)
returns the square root of a number
print(x)
Python: Math Module
import math
The math.ceil() method rounds a
number upwards to its nearest x = math.ceil(1.4)
integer, and the math.floor() method y = math.floor(1.4)
rounds a number downwards to its
nearest integer print(x)
print(y)

import math
The math.pi constant, returns the
value of PI x = math.pi

print(x)

import math

P = float(input("Enter the principal amount (P): "))


r = float(input("Enter the annual interest rate (in decimal, e.g., 0.05 for 5%): "))
n = int(input("Enter the number of times interest is compounded per year (n): "))
t = float(input("Enter the number of years (t): "))

A = P * math.pow(1 + r / n, n * t)

print(f"The compound interest amount is: {A:.2f}")


2 Solutions!!
import math

x1 = float(input("Enter x1: ")) The math.acos() function


y1 = float(input("Enter y1: ")) returns the arc cosine (also
x2 = float(input("Enter x2: ")) called the inverse cosine) of
y2 = float(input("Enter y2: ")) a number.

dot_product = x1 * x2 + y1 * y2
magnitude_1 = math.sqrt(x1**2 + y1**2)
magnitude_2 = math.sqrt(x2**2 + y2**2)

cos_theta = dot_product / (magnitude_1 * magnitude_2)

# Clamp value to handle floating-point errors (e.g., 1.00000000001)


cos_theta = min(1.0, max(-1.0, cos_theta))

theta_rad = math.acos(cos_theta)
theta_deg = math.degrees(theta_rad)

print(f"The angle between the vectors is: {theta_deg:.2f} degrees")


3. Solutions!!
import math

num = int(input("Enter a number: "))


The math.isqrt() function
returns the integer square
root = math.isqrt(num) root of a non-negative
if root * root == num: integer
print(f"{num} is a perfect square.")
import math
else:
math.isqrt(x)
print(f"{num} is not a perfect square.")
4. Solutions!!
import math

x1 = float(input("Enter x1: "))


y1 = float(input("Enter y1: "))
z1 = float(input("Enter z1: "))

x2 = float(input("Enter x2: "))


y2 = float(input("Enter y2: "))
z2 = float(input("Enter z2: "))

distance = math.sqrt(math.pow(x2 - x1, 2) +


math.pow(y2 - y1, 2) +
math.pow(z2 - z1, 2))

print(f"The distance between the points is: {distance:.2f}")
