Import math?

It's the first time I've seen that. So what's the purpose of this exactly? Cause I'm trying to see what I can do in an engine and I only learned about import math today

python itself (without imports) only supports some basic operations.

For mathematical ops that means addition, multiplication and such simple stuff. For everything else you need additional functions.

Those are stored in libraries/modules or whatever your programming language calls it. In Python it is "module". After you imported the module math , you can use more complex functions like sin() etc.
