gsl-complex

gsl-complex-js

complex numbers for JS via GNU Scientific Library. The original C code was transpiled to JS via emscripten.

Installation

Via npm:

npm install gsl-complex

To use it inside node:

var complex = require("gsl-complex");

API

See https://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/manual/html_node/Complex-Numbers.html for a description of the following functions. The prefix gsl_complex_ was removed from the original function definitions. For example, while in C you would call gsl_complex_abs() to retrieve the magnitude of the complex number, the function is exported simply as abs().

Example:

var x = complex.rect(3,2);
complex.abs(x);

Output:

3.605551275463989

Complex numbers

Function	Parameters	Description
rect	(real, imag)	creates a complex number, real+i*imag
polar	(r, theta)	creates a complex number in polar form, r e^(i theta)

Two following getter and setter functions have been defined for the complex number object:

Function	Parameters	Description
get_real		retrieves the real part
get_imag		retrieves the imaginary part
set_real	x	sets the real part equal to x
set_imag	y	sets the imaginary part equal to y
