libcalculus: A comprehensive real and complex analysis library for Python

libcalculus is fully written in C++ and Cython for bindings to Python; all numeric calculations take place in C++ and take full advantage of SIMD vectorization and OpenMP threading wherever available.

Features

• Functional programming approach to analysis in Python
• Numeric integration and differentiation of real and complex functions
• Full integration with NumPy: functions support array inputs
• LaTeX support: every function object has a .latex() that produces its LaTeX markup

Technology

libcalculus is written in C++20 and bound to Python via Cython; operations between functions are performed using C++ lambdas, and all calculations happen at the C++ level, with Python only interfacing methods and results.

Installation

libcalculus can be installed from pip:

pip install libcalculus

Examples

Here is a snippet demonstrating some of the library's features:

>>> import libcalculus, numpy as np
>>> f = libcalculus.csc @ (1 / libcalculus.identity) # csc(1 / z)
>>> f(1 + 2j)
(1.0316491868272164+1.9336686363989997j)
>>> libcalculus.residue(f, 0, tol=1e-4)
(0.16666666639893526-8.181230860681676e-06j)

>>> print(f.latex("z"))
\csc\left( \frac{1}{z}\right)

>>> contour = libcalculus.line(2, 1 + 1j) # 2(1 - t) + (1 + 1i)t
>>> libcalculus.integrate(f, contour, 0, 1) # integrate along the contour between t=0 and t=1
(-2.0551412843830605+1.1351565349386723j)

>>> libcalculus.threads(4) # Enable threading
>>> arr = np.array([[1, 2j, 3], [4 + 1j, 5 + 2j, 7 + 3j]])
>>> print(f(arr))
[[ 1.18839511+0.j         -0.        +1.91903475j  3.05628425+0.j        ]
 [ 4.03942207+0.99000843j  5.02878731+1.98839211j  7.02013025+2.99133798j]]

Source Build

Building from source can be beneficial when looking to tailor optimizations to one's specific CPU architecture or so as to modify source code privately. This can be done easily with the proper required libraries - Boost, Cython and NumPy.

Linux

A convenient driver script for compilation with different options, testing etc. is available on Linux.

$ git clone https://gitlab.com/ariter777/libcalculus && cd libcalculus
$ ./run.sh --debug build test # Run with -h (or without any flags) for help

Extra compiler and linker flags can be provided with the CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables.

Windows

On Windows you will need to run the individual scripts separately; setup.py for building, and test.py for testing.

> git clone https://gitlab.com/ariter777/libcalculus && cd libcalculus
> python setup.py build_ext --inplace
> python test.py --Function --RealFunction --Contour --ComplexFunction
