PDL::Ops - Fundamental mathematical operators

This module provides the functions used by PDL to overload the basic mathematical operators ("+ - / *" etc.) and functions ("sin sqrt" etc.)

It also includes the function "log10", which should be a perl function so that we can overload it!

Matrix multiplication (the operator "x") is handled by the module PDL::Primitive.
