array	implements array types… a restricted sequence type
math/cmath	supplies standard C library mathematical functions; most functions available in math are implemented for complex numbers in the cmath module
operator	contains numeric operators available as function calls, i.e., operator.sub(m, n) is equivalent to the difference (m - n) for numbers m and n
