2016-03-04, version 3.0.0

breaking changes

  • More restricted support for implicit multiplication in the expression parser: (...)(...) is now evaluated as a function invocation, and [...][...] as a matrix subset.

  • Matrix multiplication no longer squeezes scalar outputs to a scalar value, but leaves them as they are: a vector or matrix containing a single value. See #529.

  • Assignments in the expression parser now return the assigned value rather than the created or updated object (see #533). Example:

    A = eye(3)
    A[1,1] = 2   # this assignment now returns 2 instead of A
    
  • Expression parser now supports objects. This involves a refactoring and extension in expression nodes:

    • Implemented new node ObjectNode.
    • Refactored AssignmentNode, UpdateNode, and IndexNode are refactored into AccessorNode, AssignmentNode, and IndexNode having a different API.
  • Upgraded the used BigNumber library decimal.js to v5. Replaced the trigonometric functions of math.js with those provided in decimal.js v5. This can give slightly different behavior qua round-off errors.

  • Replaced the internal Complex.js class with the complex.js library created by @infusion.

  • Entries in a matrix (typically numbers, BigNumbers, Units, etc) are now considered immutable, they are no longer copied when performing operations on the entries, improving performance.

  • Implemented nearly equal comparison for relational functions (equal, larger, smaller, etc.) when using BigNumbers.

  • Changed the casing of the configuration options matrix (Array or Matrix) and number (number, BigNumber, Fraction) such that they now match the type returned by math.typeof. Wrong casing gives a console warning but will still work.

  • Changed the default config value for epsilon from 1e-14 to 1e-12, see #561.

non-breaking changes

  • Extended function pow to return the real root for cubic roots of negative numbers. See #525, #482, #567.
  • Implemented support for JSON objects in the expression parser and the function math.format.
  • Function math.fraction now supports BigNumber, and function math.bignumber now supports Fraction.
  • Expression parser now allows function and/or variable assignments inside accessors and conditionals, like A[x=2] or a > 2 ? b="ok" : b="fail".
  • Command line interface:
    • Outputs the variable name of assignments.
    • Fixed not rounding BigNumbers to 14 digits like numbers.
    • Fixed non-working autocompletion of user defined variables.
  • Reorganized and extended docs, added docs on classes and more. Thanks @hgupta9.
  • Added new units acre, hectare, torr, bar, mmHg, mmH2O, cmH2O, and added new aliases acres, hectares, sqfeet, sqyard, sqmile, sqmiles, mmhg, mmh2o, cmh2o. Thanks @hgupta9.

breaking changes

2014-08-03, version 0.26.0

  • A new instance of math.js can no longer be created like math([options]), to prevent side effects from math being a function instead of an object. Instead, use the function math.create([options]) to create a new instance.

      // instead of:
      var mathjs = require('mathjs'),  // load math.js
          math = mathjs();             // create an instance
    
      // just do:
      var math = require('mathjs');
    
  • Implemented support for implicit multiplication, like math.eval('2a', {a:3}) and math.eval('(2+3)(1-3)'). This changes behavior of matrix indexes as well: an expression like [...][...] is not evaluated as taking a subset of the first matrix, but as an implicit multiplication of two matrices.

  • Removed utility function ifElse. This function is redundant now the expression parser has a conditional operator a ? b : c.

  • Fixed a bug with multiplying a number with a temperature,
    like math.eval('10 * celsius').

    • Renamed functions smallereq and largereq to smallerEq and largerEq.
    • Renamed function unary to unaryMinus and added support for strings.
  • end is now a reserved keyword which cannot be used as function or symbol name in the expression parser, and is not allowed in the scope against which an expression is evaluated.

  • Implemented function unaryPlus and unary plus operator.

  • Implemented function deepEqual for matrix comparisons.

  • Added constant phi, the golden ratio (phi = 1.618...).

  • Added constant version, returning the version number of math.js as string.

  • Added unit drop (gtt).

  • Fixed not being able to load math.js using AMD/require.js.

  • Changed signature of math.parse(expr, nodes) to math.parse(expr, options) where options: {nodes: Object.<String, Node>}

  • Removed matrix support from conditional function ifElse.

  • Removed automatic assignment of expression results to variable ans. This functionality can be restored by pre- or postprocessing every evaluation, something like:

      function evalWithAns (expr, scope) {
        var ans = math.eval(expr, scope);
        if (scope) {
          scope.ans = ans;

  • Changed the syntax of range, which is now range(start, end [, step]) instead of range(start, [step, ] end).
  • Changed the behavior of ones and zeros to geometric dimensions, for example ones(3) returns a vector with length 3, filled with ones, and ones(3,3) returns a 2D array with size [3, 3].

  • Change matrix index notation in parser from round brackets to square brackets, for example A[0, 0:3].
  • Removed the feature introduced in v0.10.0 to automatically convert a complex value with an imaginary part equal to zero to a number.

  • Changed: created construction methods for easy object creation for all data types and for the parser. For example, a complex value is now created with math.complex(2, 3) instead of new math.Complex(2, 3), and a parser is now created with math.parser() instead of new math.parser.Parser().
  • Changed: moved all data types under the namespace math.type, and moved the Parser, Workspace, etc. under the namespace math.expr.
  • Changed: changed operator precedence of the power operator:
    • it is now right associative instead of left associative like most scripting languages. So 2^3^4 is now calculated as 2^(3^4).
    • it has now higher precedence than unary minus most languages, thus -3^2 is now calculated as -(3^2).
  • Changed: renamed the parsers method 'put' into 'set'.
