The C++ numerics library includes common mathematical functions and types, as well as optimized numeric arrays and support for random number generation.

Common mathematical functions

The header cmath provides standard C library mathematical functions such as std::fabs, std::sqrt, and std::sin.

Mathematical special functions The header cmath also provides mathematical special functions such as std::beta, std::hermite, and std::cyl_bessel_i.

(since C++17)

Complex numbers

Defined in header <complex>
complex	a complex number type (class template)

Numeric arrays

Defined in header <valarray>
valarray	numeric arrays and array slices (class template)

Defined in header <numeric>
gcd (C++17)	computes the greatest common divisor of two integers (function template)
lcm (C++17)	computes the least common multiple of two integers (function template)

Pseudo-random number generation

The header random defines pseudo-random number generators and numerical distributions. The header cstdlib also includes C-style random number generation via std::srand and std::rand.

Compile time rational arithmetic (since C++11)

The header ratio provides types and functions for manipulating and storing compile-time ratios.

Floating-point environment(since C++11)

The header cfenv defines flags and functions related to exceptional floating-point state, such as overflow and division by zero.
