# Mathematical functions with automatic domain (`numpy.emath`)

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.

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
    >>> from numpy.lib import scimath
    >>> scimath.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.
