.SH DESCRIPTION
|
2006-09-06 12:43:19 +00:00
|
|
|
The logarithm clog() is the inverse function of the exponential cexp().
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
Thus, if y = clog(z), then z = cexp(y).

|
|
.I y
|
2006-09-06 12:43:19 +00:00
|
|
|
is chosen in the interval [\-pi,pi].

|
One has clog(z) = log(cabs(z)) + I * carg(z).

|
|
.I z
