In addition to the mathematical operations in the previous list, LabVIEW supports a number of other mathematical functions. The following functions are implemented as defined in The C Programming Language by Brian W. Kernighan and Dennis M. Ritchie.
double atan(double); double cos(double); double exp(double); double fabs(double); double log(double); double sin(double); double sqrt(double); double tan(double); double acos(double); double asin(double);
double atan2(double, double); double ceil(double);
double cosh(double); double floor(double);
double fmod(double, double); double frexp(double, int *); double ldexp(double, int); double log10(double);
double modf(double, double *); double pow(double, double); double sinh(double);
