Add math.curt() function for cube root

[RajBasu24]

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

import math
print(math.curt(27))  # Output: 3.0
print(math.curt(64))  # Output: 4.0

Python’s math module has math.sqrt() for square root, but no direct math.curt() for cube root. Adding math.curt(x) would make cube root calculations easier and more intuitive. Currently, users must use x ** (1/3), which can lead to precision issues. So, it is requested to add this feature in the upcoming release of Python.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere

This is already available as math.cbrt() starting in Python 3.11:

Python 3.13.2 (v3.13.2:4f8bb3947cf, Feb  4 2025, 11:51:10) [Clang 15.0.0 (clang-1500.3.9.4)] on darwin

>>> import math
>>> math.cbrt(27)
3.0
>>> math.cbrt(64)
4.0

Ok, thanks for telling.
