What is the best way to use this module in addition to what sarn said, tan(3pi/4) is a pole, not infinity. the mean of the left and right hand limits is 0 Thanks for the help. I will appreciate any resources for further reading

I will appreciate any help. thanks in advance. tan(90*PI/180) = -3.689e+19 instead of infinity. What is the best way to use this module That's just floating point maths for you. You're not putting exactly pi/2 into cos, just a good floating point approximation. What you're getting out isn't exactly 0, either, just a good floating point approximation. (-2.7e-20 is really, really small.) Here's a good talk from DConf 2016: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97bxjeP3LzY If you need exact maths, you'll need a symbolic manipulation library (never used one in D, but there was a discussion recently https://forum.dlang.org/thread/ghihookwgzxculshi...@forum.dlang.org). You don't need this for most practical applications, though.
