Calculating Circular Values with Python's Math Modules
There are so many things that we can model while we're programming, and this includes things that we learned about in mathematics classes, such as shapes. These skills can be useful when we're working on graphics software or something similar to help engineers model their design structures. In this hands-on lab, we'll use some of the tools provided to us by Python's `math` module to make geometric calculations about circles. To feel comfortable completing this lab, you'll want to know how to use Python's `math` module. Watch the "Common `math` Functions and Constants" video from the [Using Python's Math, Science, and Engineering Libraries](https://linuxacademy.com/cp/modules/view/id/621) course.
