MathJSLab

Interpreter with language syntax like MATLAB®/Octave

This package emulates a parser and evaluator for a subset of MATLAB®/Octave language.

It can run in browser environment and implements an arbitrary precision arithmetics using decimal.js package. This package has functions to generate MathML code of expressions parsed too.

This software is intended for educational purposes to provide teachers and students with a computer aided calculation tool that is capable of running in a browser environment. So it can be easily adapted and used on different devices and environments.

A functional demo use of this package in a Web application can be found here.

Installation

Install the mathjslab package:

npm install mathjslab

Install @types/mathjslab package:

npm install --save-dev @type/mathjslab

Usage

The basic API is a instantiation of Evaluator with optional configuration.

let evaluator = new Evaluator(EvaluatorConfiguration);

Examples:

• Parsing

let tree = evaluator.Parse('x=sqrt(1+2*3)');

• Evaluation

let result = evaluator.Evaluate(tree);

• MathML generation

let mathml = evaluator.UnparseML(tree);
