// algebra // // math.js has support for symbolic computation (CAS). It can parse // expressions in an expression tree and do algebraic operations like // simplification and derivation on this tree. // load math.js (using node.js) var math = require('../index'); // simplify an expression console.log('simplify expressions'); console.log(math.simplify('3 + 2 / 4').toString()); // '7 / 2' console.log(math.simplify('2x + 3x').toString()); // '5 * x' console.log(math.simplify('x^2 + x + 3 + x^2').toString()); // '2 * x ^ 2 + x + 3' console.log(math.simplify('x * y * -x / (x ^ 2)').toString()); // '-y' // work with an expression tree, evaluate results var f = math.parse('2x + x'); var simplified = math.simplify(f); console.log(simplified.toString()); // '3 * x' console.log(simplified.eval({x: 4})); // 12 console.log() // calculate a derivative console.log('calculate derivatives'); console.log(math.derivative('2x^2 + 3x + 4', 'x').toString()); // '4 * x + 3' console.log(math.derivative('sin(2x)', 'x').toString()); // '2 * cos(2 * x)' // work with an expression tree, evaluate results var h = math.parse('x^2 + x'); var dh = math.derivative(h, 'x'); console.log(dh.toString()); // '2 * x + 1' console.log(dh.eval({x: 3})); // '7'
