Math functions? (Particularly transcendental ones)

Okay, I'm whipping together the "fancy math" section of the interpreter assembly language. I've got: sin, cos, tan : Plain ones asin, acos, atan: arc-whatevers shinh, cosh, tanh : Hyperbolic whatevers log2, log10, log: Base 2, base 10, and explicit base logarithms
