+that in module \refmodule{math}\refbimodindex{math}. The reason for having
two modules is, that some users aren't interested in complex numbers,
and perhaps don't even know what they are. They would rather have
\code{math.sqrt(-1)} raise an exception than return a complex number.
-Also note that the functions defined in \code{cmath} always return a
+Also note that the functions defined in \module{cmath} always return a
complex number, even if the answer can be expressed as a real number
(in which case the complex number has an imaginary part of zero).
