		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
