The YottaDB POSIX plugin now provides the POSIX mathematical functions from libmath.h. There is a high level interface. For example, to get the value of π:

YDB>set pi=2*$$arccos^%ydbposix(0) write pi
3.1415926535898
YDB>

There is also a low level interface. For example, here is the value of log10(3):

YDB>do &ydbposix.log10(3,.out) write out
..477121254719662
YDB>

The functions are documented in the Plugins manual at https://docs.yottadb.com/Plugins/ydbposix.html.
