• 🚫 No coding required: Perfect for non-programmers
• 🔧 Built-in functions: SIN, COS, SQRT, LOG, and more (UPPERCASE)
• 💾 Reusable formulas: Define once, use many times
• ❗ Helpful errors: Clear messages when something goes wrong
• 📚 Comprehensive: Works for basic math through advanced calculations
• 🔒 Safe: Secure evaluation of mathematical expressions
• 🎨 Clear distinction: UPPERCASE for functions/constants, lowercase for variables

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

pip install realmaths

or for uv

uv pip install realmaths

Basic Usage

from realmaths import EasyMath

calc = EasyMath()

# Simple calculations
result = calc.eval("4n + 1", n=5)  # Returns 21
print(result)

# Use mathematical functions (UPPERCASE)
area = calc.eval("PI * r^2", r=3)  # Circle area
print(f"Circle area: {area:.2f}")

# Define your own formulas
calc.define("compound_interest", "P(1 + r)^t")
money = calc.calculate("compound_interest", P=1000, r=0.05, t=10)
print(f"Investment value: ${money:.2f}")

Even Quicker

from realmaths import calculate

# One-line calculations
result = calculate("2x^2 + 3x - 1", x=4)  # Returns 43
distance = calculate("SQRT((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)", x1=0, y1=0, x2=3, y2=4)  # Returns 5.0

📚 Examples

Basic Mathematics

calc.define("ideal_gas", "n * R * T / P")  # V = nRT/P
volume = calc.calculate("ideal_gas", n=2, R=8.314, T=298, P=101325)

# Engineering: stress calculation
calc.define("stress", "F / A")
stress = calc.calculate("stress", F=1000, A=0.01)  # 100,000 Pa

Finance

# Compound interest
calc.define("compound", "P * (1 + r/n)^(n*t)")
amount = calc.calculate("compound", P=1000, r=0.05, n=12, t=5)

# Loan payments
calc.define("payment", "P * (r*(1+r)^n) / ((1+r)^n - 1)")
monthly = calc.calculate("payment", P=200000, r=0.04/12, n=30*12)

# Investment growth
calc.define("cagr", "((FV/PV)^(1/n)) - 1")
growth = calc.calculate("cagr", FV=1500, PV=1000, n=5)

# advance compound interest
calc.define("compound", "p(1+r/n)^(nt)")

for i in range(1,12):
  amount = calc.calculate("compound", p=1000, r=0.05, n=12, t=i)
  print(f"Investment vale: {amount:.2f} at year: {i}")

Education

# Quadratic formula solver
from realmaths import solve_quadratic
x1, x2 = solve_quadratic(1, -5, 6)  # Solves x² - 5x + 6 = 0
print(f"Solutions: x₁={x1}, x₂={x2}")  # Solutions: x₁=3.0, x₂=2.0

# Distance formula
calc.define("distance", "SQRT((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)")
dist = calc.calculate("distance", x1=0, y1=0, x2=3, y2=4)  # 5.0

# Trigonometry
calc.eval("SIN(30 * PI/180)")       # sin(30°) = 0.5
calc.eval("COS(PI/3)")              # cos(60°) = 0.5

Capitalization Convention

RealMaths uses a clear capitalization system to distinguish between functions/constants and variables:

• UPPERCASE: Functions and constants (SIN, COS, PI, E, SQRT)
• lowercase: Variables (x, y, a, b, c)

This prevents ambiguity and makes expressions clear:

# Functions and constants (UPPERCASE)
calc.eval("SIN(PI/2)")     # Function call
calc.eval("2PI")           # Constant (2 * π)

# Variables (lowercase)
calc.eval("ax^2 + bx + c", a=1, b=2, c=3, x=2)  # Variables

Supported Operations

Addition	+	x + y
Subtraction	-	x - y
Multiplication	* or implicit	2*x or 2x
Division	/	x / y

🔧 Advanced Features

Error Handling

RealMaths provides helpful error messages:

# Missing variable
calc.eval("x + y", x=1)  # VariableError: Missing variables: y

# Invalid syntax  
calc.eval("2x +")        # ExpressionError: Invalid expression syntax

# Mathematical errors
calc.eval("1/0")         # MathematicalError: Division by zero

Safe Mode

By default, RealMaths runs in safe mode to prevent code injection:

calc = EasyMath(safe_mode=True)   # Default: safe evaluation
calc = EasyMath(safe_mode=False)  # Allow more Python features

Validation

from realmath import is_valid_expression, get_expression_variables

# Check if expression is valid
if is_valid_expression("2x + 3"):
    print("Valid expression!")

# Get variables in expression
vars_list = get_expression_variables("ax^2 + bx + c")
print(vars_list)  # ['a', 'b', 'c', 'x']
