) 
⇒
matrix
Returns a matrix filled row-by-row with the
elements from 
list
.
elementsPerRow
, if included, specifies the
number of elements per row. Default is the
number of elements in 
list
 (one row).
If 
list
 does not fill the resulting matrix, zeros
are added.

) 
⇒
list
Returns a list containing the differences
between consecutive elements in
 list1
. Each
element of
 list1 
is subtracted from the next
element of 
list1
. The resulting list is always
one element shorter than the original 
list1
.

Returns the natural logarithm of the
argument.
For a list, returns the natural logarithms of
the elements.

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