- Rotations and Angle Calculations
- Wave Generation (combined with Sin)
- Physics Simulations (especially when dealing with circular motion, pendulum movements, or orbital mechanics)
- Procedural Generation (especially curves)
- Lighting and Shading (used in lighting models to calculate angles and intensities of light, reflections, and refractions)
- Animation Curves
Outputs
* (float)
The value of π, approximately 3.14159274.
