Can Math references be shortened in C#?

Question

In VB.NET, I could make my math code a lot cleaner by Importing System.Math and referencing its methods directly:

Imports System.Math
[...]
Return New Vector3(Sin(az) * Cos(el), Cos(az) * Cos(el), Sin(el))

But I don't think C# can Use classes in order to access their methods implicitly, so I have to do something like:

using System;
[...]
return new Vector3(Math.Sin(az) * Math.Cos(el), Math.Cos(az) * Math.Cos(el), Math.Sin(el));

But that's ugly; it needs its own scroll bar!. Is there any way to write something in C# that looks like my VB.NET code? I could write local wrapper methods for Sin and Cos, but wouldn't that reduce performance (because of the overhead of function calls)? And, that would require writing wrapper functions for every Math function I'm using in every class I'm using them in; that's not so desirable either.

Answer 1

You cannot define an alias to method in C#, just to a class.
