   * 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]
   *

   *
