 ##### Additions :tada:
 * Added support for a promise to a resource for `CesiumTerrainProvider`, `createTileMapServiceImageryProvider` and `Cesium3DTileset` [#6204](https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/pull/6204)
+* Added `Cesium.Math.cbrt`. [#6222](https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/pull/6222)
 * `Resource` class [#6205](https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/issues/6205)
   * Added `put`, `patch`, `delete`, `options` and `head` methods, so it can be used for all XHR requests.
   * Added `preserveQueryParameters` parameter to `getDerivedResource`, to allow us to append query parameters instead of always replacing them.
