Math.js is an extensive math library for JavaScript and Node.js. It features a flexible expression parser with support for symbolic computation, comes with a large set of built-in functions and constants, and offers an integrated solution to work with different data types like numbers, big numbers, complex numbers, fractions, units, and matrices. Powerful and easy to use.
- Supports numbers, big numbers, complex numbers, fractions, units, strings, arrays, and matrices.
- Is compatible with JavaScript's built-in Math library.
- Contains a flexible expression parser.
- Does symbolic computation.
- Comes with a large set of built-in functions and constants.
- Can be used as a command line application as well.
- Runs on any JavaScript engine.
- Is easily extensible.
- Open source.
Math.js can be used in both node.js and in the browser.
Install math.js using npm:
npm install mathjs
Or download mathjs via one of the CDN's listed on the downloads page:

Math.js can be used similar to JavaScript's built-in Math library. Besides that, math.js can evaluate expressions and supports chained operations.
// load math.js
var math = require('mathjs');
// functions and constants
math.round(math.e, 3); // 2.718
math.atan2(3, -3) / math.pi; // 0.75
math.log(10000, 10); // 4
math.sqrt(-4); // 2i
math.pow([[-1, 2], [3, 1]], 2); // [[7, 0], [0, 7]]
math.derivative('x^2 + x', 'x'); // 2 * x + 1
// expressions
math.eval('12 / (2.3 + 0.7)'); // 4
math.eval('12.7 cm to inch'); // 5 inch
math.eval('sin(45 deg) ^ 2'); // 0.5
math.eval('9 / 3 + 2i'); // 3 + 2i
math.eval('det([-1, 2; 3, 1])'); // -7
// chaining
math.chain(3)
.add(4)
.multiply(2)
.done(); // 14See the Getting Started for a more detailed tutorial.
Math.js works on any ES5 compatible JavaScript engine: node.js 0.10, and Internet Explorer 9 and newer, and all other browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari). If support for old browsers like Internet Explorer 8 is required, the es5-shim library has to be loaded.
First clone the project from github:
git clone git://github.com/josdejong/mathjs.git
cd mathjs
Install the project dependencies:
npm install
Then, the project can be build by executing the build script via npm:
npm run build
This will build the library math.js and math.min.js from the source files and put them in the folder dist.
To execute tests for the library, install the project dependencies once:
npm install
Then, the tests can be executed:
npm test
To test code coverage of the tests:
npm run coverage
To see the coverage results, open the generated report in your browser:
./coverage/lcov-report/index.html
Automated cross browser testing for mathjs is generously provided by BrowserStack
