In case of a multi dimensional array, the mean of the flattened array
will be calculated. When `dim` is provided, the maximum over the selected
dimension will be calculated. Parameter `dim` is zero-based.
## Syntax
```js
math.mean(a, b, c, ...)
math.mean(A)
math.mean(A, dim)
```

```js
math.mean(2, 1, 4, 3) // returns 2.5
math.mean([1, 2.7, 3.2, 4]) // returns 2.725
math.mean([[2, 5], [6, 3], [1, 7]], 0) // returns [3, 5]
math.mean([[2, 5], [6, 3], [1, 7]], 1) // returns [3.5, 4.5, 4]
