Description: Define the natural logarithm function on complex numbers. It is defined as the principal value, that is, the inverse of the exponential whose imaginary part lies in the interval (-pi, pi]. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_logarithm and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_logarithm . (Contributed by Paul Chapman, 21-Apr-2008)
