Can there be a numerical system in which logarithms can be expressed in terms of exponents in closed form?

The invention of complex numbers allowed to express trigonometric functions through hyperbolic ones in closed form.

Is there possible an extension of real/complex numbers in which logarithms and inverse trigonometric functions can be expressed in terms of exponents/trigonometric functions and vise versa in closed form?

P.S. I have asked here but is seems people there just do not understand the question.

What I am talking about is something like this: $$\frac1\pi\ln \left(\frac{w-\frac{z}{\pi }}{w-1+\frac{z}{\pi }}\right)=\frac1z\cos (2wz)$$

Where $w$ is some element of the extended field, not a complex number. Is this possible?
