Allowed mathematical operators 
The following Maple mathematical operators are recognized in an
expression: 
 
- arithmetic: +,-,*,/, ,** ,**
- trigonometry: sin,cos,tan,cot,sec,csc,arcsin,arccos,arctan,arccot
- hyperbolic trigonometry : sinh,cosh,tanh,coth,sech,csch,arcsinh,arccosh,arctanh,arccoth
- log and exponential: log,ln,log10,exp
- miscellaneous: abs, signum,
signum(1,..),abs(1,...),INTERVAL,ceil,floor,round
Note that the value of signum(x)=|x|/x where x is an interval
whose absolute value is lower than
`ALIAS/value_sign_signum` is set to the Maple variable 
_Envsignum0. This allows one to specify the value of signum(0).
