math.js

Math.js is an extensive JavaScript math library, compatible with the standard Math library.

The library features:

  • A flexible expression parser.
  • Support for real and complex values, units, strings, arrays, and matrices.
  • A large set of built-in functions and constants.
  • Easily extensible with new functions and constants.
  • Powerful and easy to use.

Install

Math.js can be installed via npm.

npm install mathjs

Alternatively, the library can be downloaded from github: math.js, or minified: math.min.js.

Use

Node

Math.js can be loaded via require:

var math = require('mathjs'),
    Complex = math.type.Complex,
    Unit = math.type.Unit;

console.log(math.sqrt(25));           // 5

var c = new Complex(3, -4);
console.log(math.sqrt(c).toString()); // 2 - i

var u = new Unit(45, 'deg');
console.log(math.sin(math.pi / 4));  // 0.7071067811865475
console.log(math.sin(u));             // 0.7071067811865475

Browser

Math.js can be loaded as a regular javascript file in the browser:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <script src="math.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <script>
        var Complex = math.type.Complex;
        var Unit = math.type.Unit;

        console.log(math.sqrt(25));           // 5

        var c = new Complex(3, -4);
        console.log(math.sqrt(c).toString()); // 2 - i

        var u = new Unit(45, 'deg');
        console.log(math.sin(math.pi / 4));  // 0.7071067811865475
        console.log(math.sin(u));             // 0.7071067811865475
    </script>
</body>
</html>

Build

To clone the project from github:

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

The project uses jake as build tool, and must be installed globally. After jake is installed, the project dependencies can be downloaded using npm. Then the project can be build by executing jake in the projects root.

cd mathjs
sudo npm install -g jake
npm install
jake

When jake is executed, it will generate the library math.js and math.min.js from the source files, and will test the library.
