Higher Math
The functions you’ve seen so far are the beginning of the built-in mathematical functions. Lisp also supports logarithms: LOG; exponentiation: EXP and EXPT; the basic trigonometric functions: SIN, COS, and TAN; their inverses: ASIN, ACOS, and ATAN; hyperbolic functions: SINH, COSH, and TANH; and their inverses: ASINH, ACOSH, and ATANH. It also provides functions to get at the individual bits of an integer and to extract the parts of a ratio or a complex number. For a complete list, see any Common Lisp reference.
