printf is a function found in many different programming language for convenient formatting of numbers and strings. Its first argument describes how to format all the arguments afterwards when printing them.
%d means 'print as integer', so it will never show a number with decimal points, sufficiently small numbers will simply become zero.
%f means 'print as floating point'.
%.2f means 'print as floating point to two decimal places'.
There's lots more. See 'man 3 printf' for details on how the arguments generally work.

NAME
math - Tcl Math Library
SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8.2
package require math ?1.2.4?
::math::cov value value ?value ...?
::math::integrate list of xy value pairs
::math::fibonacci n
::math::max value ?value ...?

DESCRIPTION
The math package provides utility math functions.
Besides a set of basic commands, available via the package math, there are more specialised packages:
o math::bigfloat - Arbitrary-precision floating-point arithmetic
o math::bignum - Arbitrary-precision integer arithmetic
o math::calculus::romberg - Robust integration methods for functions of one variable, using Romberg integration
o math::calculus - Integration of functions, solving ordinary differential equations
o math::combinatorics - Procedures for various combinatorial functions (for instance the Gamma function and "k out of n")
o math::complexnumbers - Complex number arithmetic
o math::constants - A set of well-known mathematical constants, such as Pi, E, and the golden ratio
o math::fourier - Discrete Fourier transforms
o math::fuzzy - Fuzzy comparisons of floating-point numbers
o math::geometry - 2D geometrical computations
o math::interpolate - Various interpolation methods
o math::linearalgebra - Linear algebra package
o math::optimize - Optimization methods
o math::polynomials - Polynomial arithmetic (includes families of classical polynomials)
o math::rationalfunctions - Arithmetic of rational functions

o math::special - Approximations of special functions from mathematical physics
o math::statistics - Statistical operations and tests
BASIC COMMANDS
::math::cov value value ?value ...?
Return the coefficient of variation expressed as percent of two or more numeric values.
::math::integrate list of xy value pairs
Return the area under a "curve" defined by a set of x,y pairs and the error bound as a list.
::math::fibonacci n
Return the n'th Fibonacci number.
::math::max value ?value ...?
Return the maximum of one or more numeric values.
::math::mean value ?value ...?
Return the mean, or "average" of one or more numeric values.
::math::min value ?value ...?
Return the minimum of one or more numeric values.
::math::product value ?value ...?
Return the product of one or more numeric values.
::math::random ?value1? ?value2?
Return a random number. If no arguments are given, the number is a floating point value between 0 and 1. If one argument is given,
the number is an integer value between 0 and value1. If two arguments are given, the number is an integer value between value1 and
value2.
::math::sigma value value ?value ...?
Return the population standard deviation of two or more numeric values.
::math::stats value value ?value ...?
Return the mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation (as percent) as a list.
::math::sum value ?value ...?
Return the sum of one or more numeric values.
