What is JavaScript Math Object?

The Math object in JavaScript is a built in object which allows you to perform mathematical operations.

Math object in JavaScript has properties and methods that has mathematical constraints and functions. Like all other objects, Math is not a constructor.

All the methods and properties of Math object are static and they can be called by using Math as an object without creating it.

So, you refer to the constant pi as Math.PI and you call the sine function as Math.sin(x), where x is the method's argument.
Syntax:
Below is the syntax to call the properties and methods of Math -

What are Math Properties?

Below are the list of all the properties of Math and their description.

Property
Description
E
Euler's constant and the base of natural logarithms, approximately 2.718.
LN2
Natural logarithm of 2, approximately 0.693.
LN10
Natural logarithm of 10, approximately 2.302.
LOG2E
Base 2 logarithm of E, approximately 1.442.
LOG1E
Base 10 logarithm of E, approximately 0.434.
PI
Ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, approximately 3.14159.
SQRT1_2
Square root of 1/2; equivalently, 1 over the square root of 2, approximately 0.707.
SQRT2
Square root of 2, approximately 1.414.

In the upcoming sections, we will have a few examples which illustrates the use of Math properties.
