I get an error message when I want to compute tangents at lisp level,
both in clisp and sbcl:
(%i1) :lisp (cos 2.0)
-0.4161468365471424
(%i1) :lisp (sin 2.0)
0.9092974268256817
(%i1) :lisp (tan 2.0)
Maxima encountered a Lisp error:
EVAL: undefined function TAN
Automatically continuing.
To reenable the Lisp debugger set *debugger-hook* to nil.
