Core #

Usage #

The core of math.js is the math namespace containing all functions and constants. There are three ways to do calculations in math.js:

• Doing regular function calls like math.add(math.sqrt(4), 2).
• Evaluating expressions like math.evaluate('sqrt(4) + 2')
• Chaining operations like math.chain(4).sqrt().add(2).

Configuration #

math.js can be configured using the math.config(), see page Configuration.

Extension #

math.js can be extended with new functions and constants using the function math.import(), see page Extension.

Serialization #

To persist or exchange data structures like matrices and units, the data types of math.js can be stringified as JSON. This is explained on the page Serialization.
