Oracle what you need is some numerical background.
You can calculate exponential and logarithm using just +,-,*,/. You need same mathematical background. Check the math world page
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ExponentialFunction.html look at the MacLaurin series.
To calculate logarithms is somewhat more dificult. You may need someone with calculus and numerical skills.
Note: A computer uses that formula for calculating exponentials.
Note2: There's a library called bigint, you start taking a look on it.
