We don't even need the math.mod function because Lua added with version 
5.1 a modulo operator,
the loop to create the row can now be changed to

     for i = 0,9 do
         context.startxrow()
             context.startxcell()
                 context(i)
             context.stopxcell()
             context.startxcell()
                 context(i * i % 10)
             context.stopxcell()
             context.startxcell()
                 context(i)
             context.stopxcell()
             context.startxcell()
                 context(2 * i * i % 10)
             context.stopxcell()
         context.stopxrow()
     end
