!!! BE CAREFUL: BREAKING CHANGES !!!
-
Full support for ES6 modules. Support for tree-shaking out of the box.
Load all functions:
import * as math from 'mathjs'
Use a few functions:
import { add, multiply } from 'mathjs'
Load all functions with custom configuration:
import { create, all } from 'mathjs' const config = { number: 'BigNumber' } const math = create(all, config)
Load a few functions with custom configuration:
import { create, addDependencies, multiplyDependencies } from 'mathjs' const config = { number: 'BigNumber' } const { add, multiply } = create({ addDependencies, multiplyDependencies }, config)
-
Support for lightweight, number-only implementations of all functions:
import { add, multiply } from 'mathjs/number'
-
New dependency injection solution used under the hood.
-
Functions
config
andimport
are not available anymore in the global context:// v5 import * as mathjs from 'mathjs' mathjs.config(...) // error in v6.0.0 mathjs.import(...) // error in v6.0.0
Instead, create your own mathjs instance and pass config and imports there:
// v6 import { create, all } from 'mathjs' const config = { number: 'BigNumber' } const mathjs = create(all, config) mathjs.import(...)
-
Renamed function
typeof
totypeOf
,var
tovariance
, andeval
toevaluate
. (the old function names are reserved keywords which can not be used as a variable name). -
Deprecated having a
.toTex
property attached to functions. Use a custom toTex handler instead. -
Deprecated the
Matrix.storage
function. Usemath.matrix
instead to create a matrix. -
Deprecated function
math.expression.parse
, usemath.parse
instead. Was used before for example to customize supported characters by replacingmath.parse.isAlpha
. -
Moved all classes like
math.type.Unit
andmath.expression.Parser
tomath.Unit
andmath.Parser
respectively. -
Removed all index.js files used to load specific functions instead of all, like:
// v5 // ... set up empty instance of mathjs, then load a set of functions: math.import(require('mathjs/lib/function/arithmetic'))
Individual functions are now loaded simply like:
// v6 import { add, multiply } from 'mathjs'
To set a specific configuration on the functions:
// v6 import { create, addDependencies, multiplyDependencies } from 'mathjs' const config = { number: 'BigNumber' } const math = create({ addDependencies, multiplyDependencies }, config)

!!! BE CAREFUL: BREAKING CHANGES !!!
Breaking changes (see also #682):
-
New expression compiler
The compiler of the expression parser is replaced with one that doesn't use
eval
internally. See #1019. This means:- a slightly improved performance on most browsers.
- less risk of security exploits.
- the code of the new compiler is easier to understand, maintain, and debug.
Breaking change here: When using custom nodes in the expression parser, the syntax of
_compile
has changed. This is an undocumented feature though. -
Parsed expressions
-
The class
ConstantNode
is changed such that it just holds a value instead of holding a stringified value and it's type.ConstantNode(valueStr, valueType
) is nowConstantNode(value)
Stringification usesmath.format
, which may result in differently formatted numeric output. -
The constants
true
,false
,null
,undefined
,NaN
,Infinity
, anduninitialized
are now parsed as ConstantNodes instead of SymbolNodes in the expression parser. See #833.
-
-
Implicit multiplication
-
Changed the behavior of implicit multiplication to have higher precedence than explicit multiplication and division, except in a number of specific cases. This gives a more natural behavior for implicit multiplications. For example
24h / 6h
now returns4
, whilst1/2 kg
evaluates to0.5 kg
. Thanks @ericman314. See: #792. Detailed documentation: https://github.com/josdejong/mathjs/blob/v4/docs/expressions/syntax.md#implicit-multiplication. -
Immediately invoking a function returned by a function like
partialAdd(2)(3)
is no longer supported, instead these expressions are evaluated as an implicit multiplicationpartialAdd(2) * (3)
. See #1035.
-
-
String formatting
-
In function
math.format
, the options{exponential: {lower: number, upper: number}}
(wherelower
andupper
are values) are replaced with{lowerExp: number, upperExp: number}
(wherelowerExp
andupperExp
are exponents). See #676. For example:math.format(2000, {exponential: {lower: 1e-2, upper: 1e2}})
is now:
math.format(2000, {lowerExp: -2, upperExp: 2})
-
In function
math.format
, the optionnotation: 'fixed'
no longer rounds to zero digits when no precision is specified: it leaves the digits as is. See #676.
-
-
String comparison
Changed the behavior of relational functions (
compare
,equal
,equalScalar
,larger
,largerEq
,smaller
,smallerEq
,unequal
) to compare strings by their numeric value they contain instead of alphabetically. This also impacts functionsdeepEqual
,sort
,min
,max
,median
, andpartitionSelect
. UsecompareNatural
if you need to sort an array with text. See #680. -
Angle units
Changed
rad
,deg
, andgrad
to have short prefixes, and introducedradian
,degree
, andgradian
and their plurals having long prefixes. See #749. -
Null
-
null
is no longer implicitly casted to a number0
, so input likemath.add(2, null)
is no longer supported. See #830, #353. -
Dropped constant
uninitialized
, which was used to initialize leave new entries undefined when resizing a matrix is removed. Useundefined
instead to indicate entries that are not explicitly set. See #833.
-
-
New typed-function library
- The
typed-function
library used to check the input types of functions is completely rewritten and doesn't useeval
under the hood anymore. This means a reduced security risk, and easier to debug code. The API is the same, but error messages may differ a bit. Performance is comparable but may differ in specific use cases and browsers.
- The
Non breaking changes:
- Thanks to the new expression compiler and
typed-function
implementation, mathjs doesn't use JavaScript'seval
anymore under the hood. This allows using mathjs in environments with security restrictions. See #401. - Implemented additional methods
isUnary()
andisBinary()
onOperatorNode
. See #1025. - Improved error messages for statistical functions.
- Upgraded devDependencies.
- Fixed #1014:
derivative
silently dropping additional arguments from operator nodes with more than two arguments.
- Upgraded to
[email protected]
(bug-fix release). - Fixed option
implicit
not being copied from anOperatorNode
when applying functionmap

. Thanks @FSMaxB.
- Fixed #1018:
simplifyCore
failing in some cases with parentheses. Thanks @firepick1.

+
and*
inderivative

simplify
evalution ofsimplify
of functions with more than two arguments wrongly:simplify('f(x, y, z)') evaluated to
f(f(x, y), z)instead of
f(x, y, z)`. Thanks @joelhoover. - Fixed
simplify
throwing an error in some cases when simplifying unknown functions, for examplesimplify('f(4)')
. Thanks @joelhoover. - Fixed #1013:
simplify
wrongly simplifing some expressions containing unary minus, like0 - -x
. Thanks @joelhoover. - Fixed an error in an example in the documentation of
xor

returning an array instead of single value when input was an array with just one value. Clarified docs. - Fixed #969: preven issues with yarn autoclean by renaming an interally used folder "docs" to "embeddedDocs".
- Improved
simplify
for nested exponentiations. Thanks @IvanVergiliev. - Fixed a security issue in
typed-function
allowing arbitrary code execution in the JavaScript engine by creating a typed function with JavaScript code in the name. Thanks Masato Kinugawa. - Fixed a security issue where forbidden properties like constructor could be replaced by using unicode characters when creating an object. No known exploit, but could possibly allow arbitrary code execution. Thanks Masato Kinugawa.

add
andmultiply
not working when passing three or more arrays or matrices.

simplify
not accepting the signaturesimplify(expr, rules, scope)
anymore. Thanks @firepick1. - Fixed missing parenthesis when stringifying expressions containing implicit multiplications (see #922). Thanks @FSMaxB.

way using functions like
isComplex(x)
instead of duck type checking likex && x.isComplex === true
. - Fixed #915: No access to property "name".
- Fixed #901: Simplify units when calling
unit.toNumeric()

- Added support for the dollar character
$
in symbol names (see #895). - Allow objects with prototypes as scope again in the expression parser, this was disabled for security reasons some time ago. See #888, #899. Thanks @ThomasBrierley.

, etc.) when using BigNumbers. -
Changed the casing of the configuration options
matrix
(Array
orMatrix

instead. - Fixed formatting numbers as scientific notation in some cases returning a zero digit left from the decimal point. (like "0.33333e8" rather than "3.3333e7"). Thanks @husayt.
- Function
- Implemented a function
print
to interpolate values in a template string, this functionality was moved from the functionformat
. - Implemented statistics function
mean
. Thanks Guillermo Indalecio Fernandez (@guillermobox). - Extended and changed
max
andmin
for multi dimensional matrices: they now return the maximum and minimum of the flattened array. An optional second argumentdim
allows to calculate themax
ormin
for specified dimension. - Renamed option
math.options.matrix.default
tomath.options.matrix.defaultType
. - Removed support for comparing complex numbers in functions
smaller
,smallereq
,larger
,largereq
. Complex numbers cannot be ordered.
- Introduced an option
math.options.matrix.default
which can have valuesmatrix
(default) orarray
. This option is used by the functionseye
,ones
,range
, andzeros
, to determine the type of matrix output. - Getting a subset of a matrix will automatically squeeze the resulting subset, setting a subset of a matrix will automatically unsqueeze the given subset.
- Removed concatenation of nested arrays in the expression parser.
You can now input nested arrays like in JavaScript. Matrices can be
concatenated using the function
concat
. - The matrix syntax
[...]
in the expression parser now creates 1 dimensional matrices by default.math.eval('[1,2,3,4]')
returns a matrix with size[4]
,math.eval('[1,2;3,4]')
returns a matrix with size[2,2]
. - Documentation is restructured and extended.
- Fixed non working operator
mod
(modulus operator).
- Implemented support for booleans in all relevant functions.
- Implemented functions
map
andforEach
. Thanks Sebastien Piquemal (@sebpic). - All construction functions can be used to convert the type of variables, also element-wise for all elements in an Array or Matrix.
- Changed matrix indexes of the expression parser to one-based with the upper-bound included, similar to most math applications. Note that on a JavaScript level, math.js uses zero-based indexes with excluded upper-bound.
- Removed support for scalars in the function
subset
, it now only supports Array, Matrix, and String. - Removed the functions
get
andset
from a selector, they are a duplicate of the functionsubset
. - Replaced functions
get
andset
ofMatrix
with a single functionsubset
. - Some moving around with code and namespaces:
- Renamed namespace
math.expr
tomath.expression
(contains Scope, Parser, node objects). - Renamed namespace
math.docs
tomath.expression.docs
. - Moved
math.expr.Selector
tomath.chaining.Selector
.
- Renamed namespace
- Fixed some edge cases in functions
lcm
andxgcd
.
- Fixed outdated version of README.md.
- Fixed a broken unit test.
- Implemented functions
random([min, max])
,randomInt([min, max])
,pickRandom(array)
. Thanks Sebastien Piquemal (@sebpic). - Implemented function
distribution(name)
, generating a distribution object with functionsrandom
,randomInt
,pickRandom
for different distributions. Currently supportinguniform
andnormal
. - Changed the behavior of
range
to exclude the upper bound, sorange(1, 4)
now returns[1, 2, 3]
instead of[1, 2, 3, 4]
. - Changed the syntax of
range
, which is nowrange(start, end [, step])
instead ofrange(start, [step, ] end)
. - Changed the behavior of
ones
andzeros
to geometric dimensions, for exampleones(3)
returns a vector with length 3, filled with ones, andones(3,3)
returns a 2D array with size [3, 3]. - Changed the return type of
ones
andzeros
: they now return an Array when arguments are Numbers or an Array, and returns a Matrix when the argument is a Matrix. - Change matrix index notation in parser from round brackets to square brackets,
for example
A[0, 0:3]
. - Removed the feature introduced in v0.10.0 to automatically convert a complex value with an imaginary part equal to zero to a number.
- Fixed zeros being formatted as null. Thanks @TimKraft.
- Fixed missing development dependency
- Changed math.js from one-based to zero-based indexes.
- Getting and setting matrix subset is now zero-based.
- The dimension argument in function
concat
is now zero-based.
- Improvements in the string output of function help.
- Added constants
true
andfalse
. - Added constructor function
boolean
. - Fixed function
select
not accepting0
as input. Thanks Elijah Manor (@elijahmanor). - Parser now supports multiple unary minus operators after each other.
- Fixed not accepting empty matrices like
[[], []]
. - Some fixes in the end user documentation.
- For complex calculations, all functions now automatically replace results
having an imaginary part of zero with a Number. (
2i * 2i
now returns a Number-4
instead of a Complex-4 + 0i
). - Implemented support for injecting custom node handlers in the parser. Can be used for example to implement a node handler for plotting a graph.
- Implemented end user documentation and a new
help
function. - Functions
size
andsqueeze
now return a Matrix instead of an Array as output on Matrix input. - Added a constant tau (2 * pi). Thanks Zak Zibrat (@palimpsests).
- Renamed function
unaryminus
tounary
. - Fixed a bug in determining node dependencies in function assignments.
- Implemented element-wise functions and operators:
emultiply
(x .* y
),edivide
(x ./ y
),epow
(x .^ y
). - Added constants
Infinity
andNaN
. - Removed support for Workspace to keep the library focused on its core task.
- Fixed a bug in the Complex constructor, not accepting NaN values.
- Fixed division by zero in case of pure complex values.
- Fixed a bug in function multiply multiplying a pure complex value with Infinity.
- Implemented function
math.parse(expr [,scope])
. Optional parameter scope can be a plain JavaScript Object containing variables. - Extended function
math.expr(expr [, scope])
with an additional parameterscope
, similar toparse
. Example:math.eval('x^a', {x:3, a:2});
. - Implemented function
subset
, to get or set a subset from a matrix, string, or other data types. - Implemented construction functions number and string (mainly useful inside the parser).
- Improved function
det
. Thanks Bryan Cuccioli (@bcuccioli). - Moved the parse code from prototype math.expr.Parser to function math.parse, simplified Parser a little bit.
- Strongly simplified the code of Scope and Workspace.

- Implemented
end
keyword for index operator, and added support for implicit start and end (expressions likea(2,:)
andb(2:end,3:end-1)
are supported now). - Function math.eval is more flexible now: it supports variables and multi-line expressions.
- Removed the read-only option from Parser and Scope.
- Fixed non-working unequal operator != in the parser.
- Fixed a bug in resizing matrices when replacing a subset.
- Fixed a bug in updating a subset of a non-existing variable.

number with multiple decimal separators like
2.3.4
. - Fixed a bug in Workspace.insertAfter.
- Fixed: math.js now works on IE 6-8 too.
- Implemented method
math.eval
, which uses a readonly parser to evaluate expressions. - Implemented method
xgcd
(extended eucledian algorithm). Thanks Bart Kiers (@bkiers). - Improved math.format, which now rounds values to a maximum number of digits
instead of decimals (default is 5 digits, for example
math.format(math.pi)
returns3.1416
). - Added examples.
- Changed methods square and cube to evaluate matrices element wise (consistent with all other methods).
- Changed second parameter of method import to an object with options.
- Fixed method math.typeof on IE.
- Minor bug fixes and improvements.
- Implemented chained operations via method math.select(). For example
math.select(3).add(4).subtract(2).done()
will return5
. - Implemented methods gcd and lcm.
- Implemented method
Unit.in(unit)
, which creates a clone of the unit with a fixed representation. For examplemath.unit('5.08 cm').in('inch')
will return a unit which string representation always is in inch, thus2 inch
.Unit.in(unit)
is the same as methodmath.in(x, unit)
. - Implemented
Unit.toNumber(unit)
, which returns the value of the unit when represented with given unit. For examplemath.unit('5.08 cm').toNumber('inch')
returns the number2
, as the representation of the unit in inches has 2 as value. - Improved: method
math.in(x, unit)
now supports a string as second parameter, for examplemath.in(math.unit('5.08 cm'), 'inch')
. - Split the end user documentation of the parser functions from the source files.

- Implemented range operator
:
, and transpose operator'
in parser. - Changed: created construction methods for easy object creation for all data
types and for the parser. For example, a complex value is now created
with
math.complex(2, 3)
instead ofnew math.Complex(2, 3)
, and a parser is now created withmath.parser()
instead ofnew math.parser.Parser()
. - Changed: moved all data types under the namespace math.type, and moved the Parser, Workspace, etc. under the namespace math.expr.
- Changed: changed operator precedence of the power operator:
- it is now right associative instead of left associative like most scripting
languages. So
2^3^4
is now calculated as2^(3^4)
. - it has now higher precedence than unary minus most languages, thus
-3^2
is now calculated as-(3^2)
.
- it is now right associative instead of left associative like most scripting
languages. So
