Math.js is an extensive math library for JavaScript and Node.js. It features a flexible expression parser with support for symbolic computation, comes with a large set of built-in functions and constants, and offers an integrated solution to work with dif

   * Compute the square of a value, `x * x`.
   * For matrices, the function is evaluated element wise.
   *
   * Syntax:
   *
   *    math.square(x)
   *
   * Examples:
   *
   *    math.square(2);           // returns number 4
   *    math.square(3);           // returns number 9
   *    math.pow(3, 2);           // returns number 9
   *    math.multiply(3, 3);      // returns number 9
   *
   *    math.square([1, 2, 3, 4]);  // returns Array [1, 4, 9, 16]
   *
   * See also:
   *
   *    multiply, cube, sqrt, pow
