log() CATALOG
log(expression1[,expression2]) ⇒ expression
log(list1[,expression2]) ⇒ list
Returns the base- expression2 logarithm of the
argument.
For a list, returns the base-
expression2 logarithm of
the elements.
If expression 2 is omitted, 10 is used.
log(2.0) ¸ .301...
If complex format mode is REAL:
log({ë 3,1.2,5}) ¸
Error: Non-real result
If complex format mode is RECTANGULAR:

log( squareMatrix1 ) ⇒

⇒ squareMatrix
Returns the matrix base- expression2 logarithm of
squareMatrix1 . This is not the same as calculating
the base-
expression2 logarithm of each element.
For information about the calculation method,
refer to
cos().
squareMatrix1 must be diagonalizable. The result
always contains floating-point numbers.
