The Exponential Function

Calling Sequence:
exp(x)
exp(y)
Parameters:
x : real
y : array(array(real)) (a square matrix)

Returns: real or array(array(real))

Synopsis: This function computes the exponential ex if the parameter is a single real value. Otherwise, it computes eyi,j for each entry of the square matrix y.

Examples:

> exp(5);
> exp([[1, 2], [3, 4]]);
