MathJSLab

npm version DOI MIT License

An interpreter with language syntax like MATLAB®/Octave written in Typescript.

ISBN 978-65-00-82338-7

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

It can run in browser environment and implements an arbitrary precision arithmetics using decimal.js package.

It uses the Jison parser generator to generate a parser that create an AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) of input.

Other components besides the parser are the evaluator, which computes the inputs, and the MathML unparser, that generates mathematical representations of the inputs and results.

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 to be used on different devices and environments.

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

Features

  • Runs on any JavaScript engine.
  • Comes with a large set of built-in functions and constants.
  • Is easily extensible.
  • Open source with fully documented code.
  • Test suites.
  • Improved demo Web application.

Browser support

MathJSLab works on any ES5 compatible JavaScript engine, including Node.js, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.

Installation

Install the mathjslab package:

npm install mathjslab

Usage

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

Import MathJSLab API:

import { Evaluator, TEvaluatorConfig } from 'mathjslab';

Initialize evaluator with:

let evaluator = Evaluator.initialize(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);

Using UNPKG CDN

You can optimize your application, reducing the size of your bundle, loading MathJSLab via the UNPKG CDN.

<head>
    ...
    <script defer type="module" src="https://www.unpkg.com/mathjslab"></script>
    ...
</head>

The module will be loaded with mathjslab name. You can initialize evaluator with:

let evaluator = mathjslab.Evaluator.initialize(EvaluatorConfiguration);

Test and Build

Run the mathjslab tests:

npm run test

Build mathjslab:

npm run build

Language subset

Currently only the mathematical expressions of the language are implemented.

The control and loop structures are not yet implemented.

Some differences from the original MATLAB®/Octave language are

  • Only two dimensional arrays can be defined (only Matrix, no Tensors).
  • Defining functions is done simply using:
function_name(argument, argument, ...) = <expression>
  • Parsing is executed line-by-line.
  • There are only one complex numeric type. Other implemented types is boolean and character string;
