Math functions that deal intelligently with the various types in Clojure's numeric tower, as well as math functions commonly found in Scheme implementations.

Functions included:

• (expt x y) - x to the yth power

• (abs n) - absolute value of n

• (gcd m n) - greatest common divisor of m and n

• (lcm m n) - least common multiple of m and n

• (floor x) - round down

• (ceil x) - round up

• (round x) - round to nearest

• (sqrt x) - square root, exact if possible

• (exact-integer-sqrt k) returns floor of square root and the "remainder"
