Symbolic_Math

symbolic_math is a Rust library that facilitates representation and manipulation of mathematical expressions. The library offers structures to model various mathematical operations, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and exponentiation. These expressions can contain constants, symbols, or other complex expressions. Furthermore, it provides tools to evaluate and simplify these expressions.

Key Components

  • Expr: An enum representing different types of mathematical expressions.
  • Symbol: A struct representing a symbolic variable.

This library also provides several implementations for Expr, including:

  • Constructors for creating new instances of Expr.
  • A Display implementation to convert an Expr instance to a string.
  • A simplify method to simplify an Expr instance.
  • An expand method for basic expansion of an Expr instance.
  • An eval method to evaluate an Expr instance.

The operators module includes operator overloads for Expr, enabling the combination of Expr instances using standard mathematical operators.

Usage

To include symbolic_math in your project, add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
symbolic_math = "0.1.1"

You can then use it in your code as follows:

use symbolic_math::expr::Expr;
use symbolic_math::symbol::Symbol;
use std::collections::HashMap;

let x = Expr::new_var("x");
let y = Expr::new_var("y");
let z = Expr::new_var("z");
let res = (x.clone() + x.clone() + y.clone() * y.clone()).pow(z);
println!("{}", res);  // prints: "(2x + y^2)^z"
println!("{}", res.simplify());  // prints: "(2x + y^2)^z"

let mut vars: HashMap<Symbol, f64> = HashMap::new();
vars.insert(Symbol::new("x"), 4.0);
vars.insert(Symbol::new("y"), 3.0);
vars.insert(Symbol::new("z"), 2.0);
println!("{}", res.eval(&vars).unwrap()); // prints: "289"

For more detailed information on how to use symbolic_math, refer to the documentation for each individual type and method.
