@node Utility Functions
@section Utility Functions

The following functions are available for working with complex numbers.
Each expects a single argument.  They are called @dfn{mapping functions}
because when given a matrix argument, they apply the given function to
each element of the matrix.

@DOCSTRING(ceil)

@DOCSTRING(exp)

@DOCSTRING(fix)

@DOCSTRING(floor)

@DOCSTRING(gcd)

@DOCSTRING(lcm)

@DOCSTRING(log)

@DOCSTRING(log10)

@DOCSTRING(log2)

@DOCSTRING(max)

@DOCSTRING(min)

@DOCSTRING(mod)

@DOCSTRING(nextpow2)

@DOCSTRING(pow2)

@DOCSTRING(rem)

@DOCSTRING(round)

@DOCSTRING(sign)

@DOCSTRING(sqrt)

@node Complex Arithmetic
@section Complex Arithmetic

The following functions are available for working with complex
numbers.  Each expects a single argument.  Given a matrix they work on
an element by element basis.  In the descriptions of the following
functions,
@iftex
@tex
$z$ is the complex number $x + iy$, where $i$ is defined as
$\sqrt{-1}$.
@end tex
@end iftex
@ifinfo
@var{z} is the complex number @var{x} + @var{i}@var{y}, where @var{i} is
defined as @code{sqrt (-1)}.
@end ifinfo

@DOCSTRING(abs)

@DOCSTRING(arg)

@DOCSTRING(conj)

@DOCSTRING(imag)

@DOCSTRING(real)

@node Trigonometry
@section Trigonometry

Octave provides the following trigonometric functions.  Angles are
specified in radians.  To convert from degrees to radians multipy by
@iftex
@tex
$\pi/180$
@end tex
@end iftex
@ifinfo
@code{pi/180}
@end ifinfo
 (e.g. @code{sin (30 * pi/180)} returns the sine of 30 degrees).

@DOCSTRING(sin)
@DOCSTRING(cos)
@DOCSTRING(tan)
@DOCSTRING(sec)
@DOCSTRING(csc)
@DOCSTRING(cot)

@DOCSTRING(asin)
@DOCSTRING(acos)
@DOCSTRING(atan)
@DOCSTRING(asec)
@DOCSTRING(acsc)
@DOCSTRING(acot)

@DOCSTRING(sinh)
@DOCSTRING(cosh)
@DOCSTRING(tanh)
@DOCSTRING(sech)
@DOCSTRING(csch)
@DOCSTRING(coth)

@DOCSTRING(asinh)
@DOCSTRING(acosh)
@DOCSTRING(atanh)
@DOCSTRING(asech)
@DOCSTRING(acsch)
@DOCSTRING(acoth)

Each of these functions expect a single argument.  For matrix arguments,
they work on an element by element basis.  For example,

@example
@group
sin ([1, 2; 3, 4])
     @result{}  0.84147   0.90930
         0.14112  -0.75680
@end group
@end example

@DOCSTRING(atan2)
