ASCII art mathematics renderer
aamath is a program that reads mathematical expressions in infix notation and renders them as ASCII art. It may be useful to send mathematics through text-only media, such as e-mail or newsgroups.
As a simple example, the output for an expression such as
A_OPR = x*sqrt(x^2-1)/2 - int(sqrt(t^2-1), t = 1 .. x)
will look like
x
______ /
/ 2 | ______
x \/ x - 1 | / 2
A = ----------- - | \/ t - 1 dt
OPR 2 |
|
/
1
Other than the usual operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and exponentiation), aamath can also handle functions, integrals, limits, sums, products, matrices and vectors. Here is a more thorough set of examples.
aamath is a command-line utility. It was successfully compiled and tested on Linux, FreeBSD, Cygwin, and DJGPP. It is written in C++, and will need lex and yacc to compile. GNU readline is also recommended, although not essential.
From Snap Store:
snap install aamath
aamath "lim(1/x^2 - (cos(x)/x)^2, x -> inf) = 1"
output:
/ 2\
| 1 /cos x\ |
lim |-- - |-----| | = 1
| 2 \ x / |
x -> oo \x /
More examples are included in the file EXAMPLES.md.
make -f Makefile
To test it:
./aamath < testcases
To run in interactive mode:
./aamath
To compile without readline:
remove -DUSE_READLINE and -lreadline and -ltermcamp from Makefile
