Math in swift

How can I get math functions in swift, like Square root, cosine, sine and Pi or round a decimal down to a whole number? And how can I doing this in swift: 2 ^ 3 = 8

I'm not familiar with math functions beyond basic operators. A quick search in the documentation in Swift should help. I searched arithmetic and it brought up various search terms. It did bring up the NSDecimalNumber class and various other terms. Everything else is beyond my capability! I hope this helped in any way.
