Summary

Wrapper functions to more user-friendly calling of certain math functions whose output data-type is different than the input data-type in certain domains of the input.

Extended Summary

For example, for functions like log with branch cuts, the versions in this module provide the mathematically valid answers in the complex plane

>>> import math
>>> np.emath.log(-math.exp(1)) == (1+1j*math.pi)
True

Similarly, sqrt, other base logarithms, power and trig functions are correctly handled. See their respective docstrings for specific examples.
