##Welcome to the Mathlibra wiki!

I have begun to summarize the most important information about the Matlibra library in this wiki and at the moment it is long from done.If you feel something you want is missing, please send me a message an I will try to help you.

1. Introduction

Maybe the most important question is simply what is Mathlibra? Well to summarize it, it is an mathematical expression interpreter library. The library in designed to be easy to embed within other applications, enabling it to parse and execute mathematical expression. Mathlibra was first conceived when trying to implement a scientific calculator, which should hint the intention behind the library design. Later it was extended with support for several different host programming languages and an plugin-API was added. By adding plug-ins, the functionality of Mathlibra can be greatly extended.

To get an overview of Mathlibra i recommend reading the Expression & Syntax page.

To learn about the different ways to interface with mathlibra see the External APIs page.
