list2mat

Returns a matrix of n columns made by splitting a list into

rows, each containing n terms. If the number of elements in

the list is not divisible by n, then the matrix is completed with

zeros.

list2mat(List, Integer)

Example:

list2mat({1,8,4,9},1) returns

lname

Returns a list of the variables in an expression.

lname(Expr)

Example:

lname(exp(x)*2*sin(y))

gives

[x,y]

lnexpand

Returns the expanded form of a logarithmic expression.

lnexpand(Expr)

Example:

lnexpand(ln(3*x))

gives

ln(3)+ln(x)

logarithmic_

regression

Given a set of points, returns a vector containing the

coefficients a and b of y=a*ln(x)+b, the natural logarithmic

function which best fits the set of points. The points may be the

elements in two lists or the rows of a matrix.

logarithmic_regression(Matrix) or
logarithmic_regression(List1, List2)

Example:

logarithmic_regression

returns

[6.3299…, 0.7207…]

logb

Returns the logarithm of base b of a.

logb(a,b)

Example:

logb(5,2)

gives

ln(5)/ln(2)
