XSLT processors that support EXSLT will most likely provide these as
extension functions as described at http://exslt.org/math/index.html

The .zip downloads there demonstrate JavaScript implementations
that can be called from MSXML, which doesn't support EXSLT natively.

Yes, Dimitre's code demonstrates pure XSLT implementations with particular
attention to efficiency through the use of functional programming concepts.

It may take some effort to figure out how to safely extract the templates you
need from the complete calculator application, but it is worth it, to get the
most portable solution.
