metamath

Meta mathematic

metamath is a tiny header-only library. It can be used for symbolic computations on single-variable functions, such as dynamic computations of derivatives. The operator precedence rules are naturally handled by the compiler. The library could be useful for building custom DSL's in C++.

func.h contains definitions for some of the cmath functions: Sin/Cos, Ln, Pow, Abs, Sqrt, Exp, more to come... Arithmetic operations with functions are supported:

auto f1 = 3 * x;
auto f2 = Ln(x);
auto f = f1 + f2;

auto y1 = f(2);
auto y2 = f(4);

as well as function composition:

auto f = Ln(x);
auto g = 3 * x;
auto h = f(g);

auto y1 = h(2);

Examples of Functions and Derivatives

Example:

using namespace metamath;

auto f = 3 * x * x;

std::cout << "f(x) = " << f << std::endl;
std::cout << "f(4) = " << f(4.f) << std::endl;
std::cout << "------" << std::endl;

// take derivative
auto df = derivative(f);
std::cout << "f`(x) = " << df << std::endl;
std::cout << "f`(4) = " << df(4.f) << std::endl;

This will produce the following output:

f(x) = 3 * x * x
f(4) = 48
------
f`(x) = ((0 * x + 3) * x + 3 * x)
f`(4) = 24

Example:

auto f =  4 * Sin(2 * x);

std::cout << "f(x) = " << f << std::endl;
std::cout << "f(pi) = " << f(M_PI) << std::endl;
std::cout << "f(pi/4) = " << f(M_PI/4.f) << std::endl;
std::cout << "------" << std::endl;

//take derivative
auto df = derivative(f);
std::cout << "f`(x) = " << df << std::endl;
std::cout << "f`(pi) = " << df(M_PI) << std::endl;
std::cout << "f`(pi/4) = " << df(M_PI/4.f) << std::endl;

This will produce the following output:

f(x) = 4 * sin(2 * x)
f(pi) = 6.99382e-07
f(pi/4) = 4
------
f`(x) = (0 * sin(2 * x) + 4 * cos(2 * x) * (0 * x + 2))
f`(pi) = 8
f`(pi/4) = -3.49691e-07

Build

Requirements

C++14 or later

Steps to build the sample

• Suppose you cloned to [HOME]/work/metamath

• For out-of-source, create a build folder in [HOME]/work, and go there.

    $mkdir build
    $cd build
  

• Run cmake

    $cmake ../metamath
  

• Build it

    $make
  

• You can now run a sample (the sample source is in metamath/sample/)

    $./sample/mms
  

• The sample output:
