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.
