This module primarily serves as a library for other modules and has no corresponding template.

This module provides several mathematical functions which are likely to be used frequently on the Xenharmonic Wiki.

Namely, the functions in this module can be called from other modules by using require("Module:Utils") and calling the underscore-prefixed functions. To see introspection summary, see this module's main page.

Todo: add back function descriptions
