It isn't different syntax. The difference is that there is a function 
"array" (technically, a type rather than a function) in the module 
"array", but there is no function "math" in the array "math". There is 
however a function sin, so you can do this:

from math import sin


Precisely the same syntax: "from <module-name> import <object-name>". 
Only the names are different.
