Describe your change:

Add a new cosine_similarity function to maths/cosine_similarity.py that calculates the cosine similarity between two vectors. Cosine similarity is a widely used metric in information retrieval, text mining, and machine learning to measure how similar two vectors are regardless of their magnitude.
