Transcendental Functions

PowerPC Numerics provides several basic mathematical functions in addition to the auxiliary functions recommended in the IEEE standard. These functions include

• logarithms
• exponentials
• two important financial functions
• trigonometric functions
• a random number generator
• error and gamma functions

For information about the transcendental functions supported, see Part 2.
