5.4: Numeric

Constant: most-positive-fixnum
The immediate integer closest to positive infinity. See Configuration.
Constant: most-negative-fixnum
The immediate integer closest to negative infinity.

These procedures augment the standard capabilities in Numerical operations.

Function: sinh z
Function: cosh z
Function: tanh z
Return the hyperbolic sine, cosine, and tangent of z
Function: asinh z
Function: acosh z
Function: atanh z
Return the inverse hyperbolic sine, cosine, and tangent of z
Function: $sqrt x
Function: $abs x
Function: $exp x
Function: $log x
Function: $sin x
Function: $cos x
Function: $tan x
Function: $asin x
Function: $acos x
Function: $atan x
Function: $sinh x
Function: $cosh x
Function: $tanh x
Function: $asinh x
Function: $acosh x
Function: $atanh x

Real-only versions of these popular functions. The argument x must be a real number. It is an error if the value which should be returned by a call to these procedures is not real.

Function: $log10 x
Real-only base 10 logarithm.
Function: $atan2 y x
Computes (angle (make-rectangular x y)) for real numbers y and x.
Function: $expt x1 x2
Returns real number x1 raised to the real power x2. It is an error if the value which should be returned by a call to $expt is not real.
