Using matrix for algebraic operation with its elements

Hi,

I would like to know if it's possible to use the matrix for algebraic calculations with its "individual" matrix elements. For example, i have matrix Z and i would like to logarithm each element, something like log(Z). Or do another algebraic operation with all elements separetly. What is the best practice?

Thanks

there is also apply_map:

sage: Z = random_matrix(ZZ, 5, x=1, y=10)
sage: Z.apply_map(lambda z : log(z))

[log(6)      0 log(6) log(2) log(8)]
[log(3) log(6) log(8) log(3) log(5)]
[log(6) log(9) log(5) log(4) log(6)]
[log(8) log(3) log(7) log(2) log(6)]
[     0      0 log(4) log(7) log(8)]

One approach is to use numpy arrays. For example...

import numpy as np
a = np.array([[1,e,3.3],[4.5,5.6,7.8]])
print log(a)
print np.log(a)
