Class Reference #

This page lists all the various class types in Math.js. Every top-level function is listed here and links to its detailed reference to other parts of the documentation.

["math"](functions.html) #

The "math" namespace contains the entire math.js functionality. All of the mathematical functions are available in the "math" namespace, and allow for inputs of various types.

[Unit](../datatypes/units.html) #

Stores values for a scalar unit and its postfix. (eg `100 mm` or `100 kg`). Although the `Unit` class contains public functions documented as follows, using the following API directly is *not* recommended. Prefer using the functions in the "math" namespace wherever possible.

[Fraction](../datatypes/fractions.html) #

Stores values for a fractional number.

[BigNumber](../datatypes/bignumbers.html) #

Stores values for a arbitrary-precision floating point number.

[Matrix](../datatypes/matrices.html) #

Two types of matrix classes are available in math.js, for storage of dense and sparse matrices. Although they contain public functions documented as follows, using the following API directly is *not* recommended. Prefer using the functions in the "math" namespace wherever possible.

Classes used internally that may be of use to developers:

[Complex](../datatypes/complex_numbers.html) #

Stores values for a complex number.

[Parser](../expressions/parsing.html) #

The Parser object returned by `math.parser()`.

[Node](expressions/expression_trees.html) #

A node in an expression-tree, which can be used to analyze, manipulate, and evaluate expressions.

Node is the base class of all other node classes:
