Rat[(1+x)^ + 1]
 did work.
How can I find out what commands have already been implemented? 

For instance,  the function N[\cdot] does not seem to work.  Also, 
floating point numbers can't be handled (or I don't know how to do it).

In[30] := Log[2]

OUT[30] = 0.69314718055994529
In[31] := Log[2 + 1/100]

OUT[31] = 0.69813472207098426
In[32] := Log[2.1]

OUT[32] = LOG[2.1/10]
In[33] := N[2.1]

OUT[33] = N[2.1/10]
In[34] := 2 + 1/10;

In[35] := 2.1;

In[36] := 2 + 0.1

OUT[36] = 2 + 0.1/10
In[37] := Log[%]

OUT[37] = LOG[2 + 0.1/10]
In[38] := 2 + 1/10;

In[39] := x=2

OUT[39] = SET[X, 2]
In[40] := y=1/10

OUT[40] = SET[Y, 1/10]
In[41] := Log[x+y]

OUT[41] = LOG[X + Y]
In[42] := Log[21/10]

OUT[42] = 0.74193734472937733
In[43] := N[%,30]

OUT[43] = N[0.74193734472937733, 30]
