I'm not sure have all the history around the Math vs StrictMath distinction.
There are many cross references between Math and StrictMath for common
functions, for example, ulp, getExponent, copySign, etc.
The distinction is clearer for floating point operations than for
int/log computations.

Hi there,
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I am curious as to why the
newer methods in StrictMath (including addExact etc.) are now
delegating to methods in Math.
Looking at the other static methods, they seem to be going in the
opposite direction, i.e. Math methods calling equivalent methods in
StrictMath.
Thanks,
Alex.

Requests that floor and modulus methods be provided for primitive types.
Floor division is pretty straight-forward, rounding toward minus infinity.
For modulus of int and long, the sign and range follow the exiting floor
method
in java.util.Math and satisfy the relation that mod(x, y) = (x -
floorDiv(x, y) * y).
