Module:Math: Difference between revisions

    m>Mr. Stradivarius
    (add a gcd function per edit request by User:Mxn, add a mod function, alter existing functions to allow access from Lua without calling a frame object, use Module:Arguments to process arguments, p._cleanNumber improvements)
    m>Mr. Stradivarius
    (Undid revision 586573269 by Mr. Stradivarius (talk) the code refactor broke some existing modules - revert for now while I work out the extent of the problem)
