Math.js is an extensive math library for JavaScript and Node.js. It features a flexible expression parser with support for symbolic computation, comes with a large set of built-in functions and constants, and offers an integrated solution to work with different data types like numbers, big numbers, complex numbers, fractions, units, and matrices. Powerful and easy to use.

## Features

- Supports numbers, big numbers, complex numbers, fractions, units, strings, arrays, and matrices.
- Is compatible with JavaScript's built-in Math library.
- Contains a flexible expression parser.
- Does symbolic computation.
- Comes with a large set of built-in functions and constants.
- Can be used as a command line application as well.
- Runs on any JavaScript engine.
- Is easily extensible.
- Open source.

## Usage

Math.js can be used in both node.js and in the browser.

Install math.js using [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mathjs):

    npm install mathjs

> Note that when using mathjs in a TypeScript project, you will have to install type definition files too: `npm install @types/mathjs`.

Or download mathjs via one of the CDN's listed on the downloads page:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[https://mathjs.org/download.html](https://mathjs.org/download.html#download)

Math.js can be used similar to JavaScript's built-in Math library. Besides that,
math.js can evaluate
[expressions](https://mathjs.org/docs/expressions/index.html)
and supports
[chained operations](https://mathjs.org/docs/core/chaining.html).

```js
import {
  atan2, chain, derivative, e, evaluate, log, pi, pow, round, sqrt
} from 'mathjs'

// functions and constants
round(e, 3)                    // 2.718
atan2(3, -3) / pi              // 0.75
log(10000, 10)                 // 4
sqrt(-4)                       // 2i
pow([[-1, 2], [3, 1]], 2)      // [[7, 0], [0, 7]]
derivative('x^2 + x', 'x')     // 2 * x + 1

// expressions
evaluate('12 / (2.3 + 0.7)')   // 4
evaluate('12.7 cm to inch')    // 5 inch
evaluate('sin(45 deg) ^ 2')    // 0.5
evaluate('9 / 3 + 2i')         // 3 + 2i
evaluate('det([-1, 2; 3, 1])') // -7

// chaining
chain(3)
    .add(4)
    .multiply(2)
    .done()  // 14
```

See the [Getting Started](https://mathjs.org/docs/getting_started.html) for a more detailed tutorial.


## Browser support

Math.js works on any ES5 compatible JavaScript engine: node.js, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and IE11.


## Documentation

- [Getting Started](https://mathjs.org/docs/getting_started.html)
- [Examples](https://mathjs.org/examples/index.html)
- [Overview](https://mathjs.org/docs/index.html)
- [History](https://mathjs.org/history.html)


## Build

First clone the project from github:

    git clone git://github.com/josdejong/mathjs.git
    cd mathjs

Install the project dependencies:

    npm install

Then, the project can be build by executing the build script via npm:

    npm run build

This will build the library math.js and math.min.js from the source files and
put them in the folder dist.


## Test

To execute tests for the library, install the project dependencies once:

    npm install

Then, the tests can be executed:

    npm test

Additionally, the tests can be run on FireFox using [headless mode](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Headless_mode):

    npm run test:browser

To run the tests remotely on BrowserStack, first set the environment variables `BROWSER_STACK_USERNAME` and `BROWSER_STACK_ACCESS_KEY` with your username and access key and then execute:

    npm run test:browserstack

To test code coverage of the tests:

    npm run coverage

To see the coverage results, open the generated report in your browser:

    ./coverage/lcov-report/index.html


### Continuous integration testing

Continuous integration tests are run on [Travis CI](https://travis-ci.org/) and [BrowserStack](https://www.browserstack.com) every time a commit is pushed to github.
The test results can be checked on https://travis-ci.org/josdejong/mathjs. Travis CI runs the tests for different versions of node.js, and BrowserStack runs the tests are run on all major browsers.
