  /**
   * Compute the cube of a value, `x * x * x`.
   * For matrices, the function is evaluated element wise.
   *
   * Syntax:
   *
   *    math.cube(x)
   *
   * Examples:
   *
   *    math.cube(2);            // returns number 8
   *    math.pow(2, 3);          // returns number 8
   *    math.cube(4);            // returns number 64
   *    4 * 4 * 4;               // returns number 64
   *
   *    math.cube([1, 2, 3, 4]); // returns Array [1, 8, 27, 64]
   *
   * See also:
   *
   *    multiply, square, pow
   *
   * @param  {number | BigNumber | Fraction | Complex | Array | Matrix} x  Number for which to calculate the cube
   * @return {number | BigNumber | Fraction | Complex | Array | Matrix} Cube of x
