The math unit, is something I've been meaning to try ... don't have much
experience with it.. but did you try the power operator?

It's **

  x := ((x shr 16) ** x) * $45d9f3b;

Above code please do not trust it, I have no experience with operator
overloading (or very little). I did not check to see what the function
does, is, etc.
