.SH DESCRIPTION
These routines implement the basic elementary functions of applied mathematics.
.PP
.BI Sqrt( x )
computes the square root of
.IR x ,
.BI cbrt( x )
the cube root.
.BI Pow( x , y )
computes
.I x
raised to the exponent
.IR y ;
.B pow10
raises 10 to the integer power
.IR n .
.BI Hypot( x , y )
computes
\f5sqrt(\f2x\f5*\f2x\f5+\f2y\f5*\f2y\f5)\f1.
.PP
.BI Exp( x )
returns the exponential function of
.IR x ,
and
.BI expm1( x )
is
.BI exp( x )-1.
.PP
.BI Log( x )
returns the natural logarithm of
.IR x ,
while
.BI log10( x )
returns the logarithm base 10 and
.BI log1p( x )
returns the logarithm of
.BI 1+ x\f1.
.PP
The trigonometric functions use radians.
The ranges of the inverse functions are:
.BI acos
in [0,\(*p];
.B asin
in [-\(*p/2,\(*p/2];
.B atan
in [-\(*p/2,\(*p/2];
and
.BI atan2( y , x )
.B =
.BI arctan( y / x )
in [-\(*p,\(*p];
.PP
The gamma function is implemented by
.BI lgamma( x )\f1;
the tuple it returns, say
.BI ( s , lg )\f1,
encodes the gamma function by
.RI \(*G( x )
=
.IB s *exp( lg )\f1.
.PP
The hyperbolic trigonometric functions
.B sinh
etc. behave as expected.
.B Erf
is the error function and
.BI erfc( x )
is
.BI 1-erf( x )\f1.
.PP
The Bessel functions are computed by
.BI j0 ,
.BI j1 ,
.BI jn ,
.BI y0 ,
.BI y1 ,
and
.BR yn .
