Why do you say that? The builtins are MUCH faster than numpy for single
values:

In [1]: import math

In [2]: import numpy as np

In [3]: %timeit np.sin(1.57)
100000 loops, best of 3: 2.41 us per loop

In [4]: %timeit math.sin(1.57)
10000000 loops, best of 3: 165 ns per loop

In [6]: %timeit np.array([np.sin(1.57)])
100000 loops, best of 3: 11.5 us per loop

In [7]: %timeit np.array([math.sin(1.57)])
100000 loops, best of 3: 7.01 us per loop
