mathsys 3.9.16

The Domain Specific Language for math.

Mathsys

Mathsys is a DSL (Domain-Specific Language) aimed to make math writing easier on computers, and something machines can actually understand.

Mathsys bridges the gap between traditional mathematical notation and programming languages. It provides a hybrid syntax that maintains mathematical readability while adding programming language features like multi-character variables and structured expressions.

Installation

Install the latest version via pip:

pip install mathsys

Package

To use the package, simply import it:

import mathsys

It is recommended that you import a version specifically, versions available now are v1, v2 and dev:

import mathsys.dev as mathsys

The latter way ensures you always use that version, no matter the updates that the package receives.

CLI

Compile a Mathsys file to different targets with:

python -m mathsys <target> <filename>.msX

where .msX stands for .ms1, .ms2 ... and .msd.

You will need rustc installed with the target you are compiling to. If that feels too cumbersome (it really is), try it out first on Abscissa.

[!NOTE] Targets available are: validate, latex, web and unix-x86-64.

Project Status

Mathsys is actively developed with regular releases every 1-3 weeks. This project is still in its early stages, so expect major shifts and changes. Most features aren't close to being developed yet.

Technical Background

• Parser: A lark parser based on Earley that tokenizes the source and builds the AST.
• LaTeX: Our custom LaTeX generator that traverses the AST and outputs easy-to-read LaTeX.
• IR: A fully binary Intermediate Representation.
• Runtime: Rust based no_std runtime which interprets the IR embedded into it and implements control-flow for low-level operations.
• Assembly: For low-level operations that require speed and don't need memory safety.
