Math expression parsing for numerical entry text boxes

[jlbabilino]

Example: typing 2 + 3 into a number text box should enter the value of 5.

Basic mathematical syntax, functions, and constants should be supported. (sin(pi/2)+1*2)^2 will result in 9.

An example implementation of this is in HelixNavigator.

Is this intended to support limits? ie sin(0)/0 is undefined on its own, but lim x->0 sin(x)/x is 1.

[jlbabilino]

Is there a specific situation you need that kind of functionality?

[jlbabilino]

I think mathjs is the perfect candidate for this.
