NAME
log - base 10 logarithm
SYNOPSIS
log(x [,eps])
TYPES
x nonzero real or complex
eps 0 < real < 1, defaults to epsilon()
return real or complex
DESCRIPTION
Approximate the base 10 logarithm function of x by a multiple of
epsilon, the error having absolute value less than 0.75 * eps.
If y is a positive integer, log(x, 10^-y) will usually be correct
to the y-th decimal place.
EXAMPLE
; print log(10), log(100), log(1e10), log(1e500)
1 2 10 500
; print log(128), log(23209), log(2^17-19)

; print log(2+3i, 1e-5)

LIMITS
