I'm looking for examples of the use of mathematical operations in OpenSCAD
programs. beyond arithmetic

https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/Transformations is an
excellent place to start.

I'll be looking for more.  Do you know of any other good examples of the
use of non-obvious mathematics in an OpenSCAD program?

I don't know about non-obvious, but I've tried to collect all the useful trigonometric formulae at:
