rather than several individual functions, e.g.,
floor(argument)
ceil(argument)
abs(argument)
round(argument)
trunc(argument)
and
sqrt(argument
exp(exponent[,base=e])
log(argument[,base=e])
sin(argument[,degrees (bool)=0])
cos(argument[,degrees (bool)=0])
tan(argument[,degrees (bool)=0])
atan(argument[,degrees (bool)=0])
as is more common.
