Math.js is an extensive math library for JavaScript and Node.js. It features a flexible expression parser with support for symbolic computation, comes with a large set of built-in functions and constants, and offers an integrated solution to work with different data types like numbers, big numbers, complex numbers, fractions, units, and matrices. Powerful and easy to use.

Features

Supports numbers, big numbers, complex numbers, fractions, units, strings, arrays, and matrices.
Is compatible with JavaScript's built-in Math library.
Contains a flexible expression parser.
Does symbolic computation.
Comes with a large set of built-in functions and constants.
Has no dependencies. Runs on any JavaScript engine.
Can be used as a command line application as well.
Is easily extensible.
Open source.

Usage

Math.js can be installed using npm or bower, or by downloading the library. The library can be used in both node.js and in the browser. See the Getting Started for a more detailed tutorial. To install math.js using npm:

npm install mathjs

Math.js can be used similar to JavaScript's built-in Math library. Besides that, math.js can evaluate expressions and supports chained operations.

// load math.js
var math = require('mathjs');

// functions and constants
math.round(math.e, 3);            // 2.718
math.atan2(3, -3) / math.pi;      // 0.75
math.log(1000, 10);               // 3
math.sqrt(-4);                    // 2i
math.pow([[-1, 2], [3, 1]], 2);   // [[7, 0], [0, 7]]
math.derivative('x^2 + x', 'x');  // 2 * x + 1

// expressions
math.eval('12 / (2.3 + 0.7)');    // 4
math.eval('5.08 cm to inch');     // 2 inch
math.eval('sin(45 deg) ^ 2');     // 0.5
math.eval('9 / 3 + 2i');          // 3 + 2i
math.eval('det([-1, 2; 3, 1])');  // -7

// chaining
math.chain(3)
    .add(4)
    .multiply(2)
    .done(); // 14

Documentation

Build

First clone the project from github:

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

Install the project dependencies:

npm install

Then, the project can be build by executing the build script via npm:

npm run build

This will build the library math.js and math.min.js from the source files and put them in the folder dist.

Test

To execute tests for the library, install the project dependencies once:

npm install

Then, the tests can be executed:

npm test

To test code coverage of the tests:

npm run coverage
