From the doc: "Defaults for Font Lock mode specified by the major mode."
Setting this variable only works when you define a new major mode. To
add keywords afterwards, use `font-lock-add-keywords'

Using multiple keywords is optional, i.e. you may leave out the two nils
and one level of parentheses. Your nesting and quoting is correct.
You might also want to use "\\<Sin\\>" instead of "Sin", etc.
