    The following table provides a list of intrinsic functions that can be used for reals.

    Function Description
    ABS(A) Returns the real absolute value of real argument A.
    ACOS(W) Returns the real inverse cosine of real argument W in radians.
    ASIN(W) Returns the real inverse sine of real argument W in radians.
    ATAN(X) Returns the real inverse tangent of real argument X in radians.
    COS(W) Returns the real cosine of real argument W in radians.
    LOG(W) Returns the real natural logarithm of real argument W. Real argument W must be positive.
    MOD(R1,R2) Return the real remainder of real argument R1 divided by real argument R2.
    SIN(W) Returns the real sine of real argument W in radians.
    SQRT(W) Returns the real square root of real argument W. Real argument W must be positive.
    TAN(X) Returns the real tangent of real argument X in radians.
