All of the usual trig, etc. functions are methods on float64s.

Try

     ? help(1.0)

Which isn't to say that the documentation doesn't need expanding --  
that is, writing.

It would be great to have full specification text and tests in
   http://wiki.erights.org/wiki/Float64
   http://wiki.erights.org/wiki/Number_protocol
and other such pages.
