Transcendental Functions
The FPU has op-codes to compute the sine, cos, and arctan of numbers on
the stack. It is therefore possible to compute all of the trig functions.
It also has op-codes to compute 2x and log2x for
any number x. These instructions and the fld log constants
allow easy compution of ex, logex, 10x
and log10x.
