Math Toolbox is a Java-based console application that allows users to perform symbolic and numerical mathematics directly from the command line. It is powered by the Symja library for symbolic math (calculus, algebra) and can be extended with other libraries for linear algebra or OCR-based image recognition.
- Derivatives: Compute derivatives of functions with respect to
x.
Example:sin(x)*exp(x)→cos(x)*exp(x) + sin(x)*exp(x) - Integrals: Compute indefinite integrals with respect to
x.
Example:x^2→x^3/3 - Simplification: Reduce algebraic expressions to simpler forms.
Example:(x^2 + 2x + 1)→(x+1)^2 - Equation Solving: Solve equations for variable
x.
Example:x^2=4→{x = -2, x = 2}
- The program runs in a menu-driven format.
- Users choose an operation (derivative, integral, simplify, solve, or exit).
- They then enter a mathematical expression, which the program evaluates and prints the result.
- Written in Java
- Uses Symja (org.matheclipse.core) for symbolic computation
- Input is provided via the console (typed expressions)
- Designed to be lightweight and extendable
- Linear algebra operations (matrix multiplication, determinants, eigenvalues)
- Vector calculus (gradient, divergence, curl)
- OCR support (via Tesseract + Tess4J) so the program can read screenshots of math problems and solve them automatically
