``bitand``, ``bitor`` and ``bitxor``
perform bitwise operations.
These will throw away any non-integer parts and interpret the rest as an int.
Note: ``bitnot`` and ``bitnand`` don't exist. This is because numbers in math don't really have a *width* in terms of bits,
and tehse operations necessarily care about leading zeroes.
If you need to negate a specific number you can do it with an xor with a mask, e.g.::
> math --base=hex bitxor 0x0F, 0xFF
0xF0
> math --base=hex bitxor 0x2, 0x3
# Here we mask with 0x3 == 0b111, so our number is 3 bits wide
# Only the 1 bit isn't set.
0x1
``ceil``
round number up to nearest integer
``cos``
