Well, maybe this post can help you out; it provides some pretty in-depth descriptions on each of he math blocks:

Don't know how to spell.
To be perfectly honest, it's actually "logarithm."

I think he means logarithm. 
- e ^ _ = e to the power of _ (e is a bout equal to 2.71828183)
- 10 ^ _ = 10 to the power of _ (Used in scientific notation, eg. 4.56*(10^4) = 45,600
- asin, acos, and atan = arcsine, arccosine, and arctangent, respectively. (Inverses of sine, cosine, and tangent)
- _mod_ = remainder after dividing the two numbers.
Most of these functions are too complicated to be fully explained here; try looking them up online.

Yeah, sine and co. are pretty complicated, here, let me Google that for you.
