• 📊 Uncertainty Propagation: Comprehensive support for calculating uncertainty propagation with full covariance matrix integration.
• ∇ Vector Calculus: Native symbolic computation of Gradients, Hessians, and Jacobian matrices.
• 🚀 Parallel Processing: Optional parallel evaluation engine using Rayon for massive batch operations.
• 📦 Python Bindings: Seamless Python integration via maturin, offering the speed of Rust with the ease of Python.

Installation

# Python
pip install symb-anafis

# Rust
cargo add symb_anafis

Quick Start

Python

import symb_anafis

# Differentiate complex expressions
result = symb_anafis.diff("x^3 + sin(x)", "x")
# → "3*x^2 + cos(x)"

# Algebraic Simplification
result = symb_anafis.simplify("sin(x)^2 + cos(x)^2")
# → "1"

# Handle constants automatically
result = symb_anafis.diff("a*x^2", "x", fixed_vars=["a"])
# → "2*a*x"

Rust

use symb_anafis::{diff, simplify, symb};

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // String API for ease of use
    let result = diff("sin(x) * x", "x", None, None)?;
    println!("{result}");  // cos(x)*x + sin(x)

    // Type-safe API (Symbol is Copy - no clone needed!)
    let x = symb("x");
    let expr = x.pow(2.0) + x.sin();  // x² + sin(x)
    
    // Export to LaTeX
    println!("{}", expr.to_latex());  // x^{2} + \sin(x)
    
    Ok(())
}

Advanced Features

🔍 Fine-Grained Control

Use the Builder pattern to configure safety limits and behavior.

use symb_anafis::{Diff, Simplify};

Diff::new()
    .domain_safe(true)     // Prevent unsafe simplifications (e.g., x/x != 1 if x=0)
    .max_depth(200)        // Prevent stack overflows on massive expressions
    .diff_str("sqrt(x^2)", "x")?; // Result: abs(x)/x

📉 Uncertainty Propagation

Calculate error propagation symbolically, supporting correlated variables.

use symb_anafis::uncertainty_propagation;

// Calculate uncertainty formula for f = x + y with full covariance support
let sigma = uncertainty_propagation(&expr, &["x", "y"], None)?;
// → sqrt(sigma_x^2 + 2*sigma_x*sigma_y*rho_xy + sigma_y^2)

⚡ Parallel Evaluation

Evaluate expressions over large datasets in parallel (requires parallel feature).

// Evaluate symbolic expressions across thousands of data points efficiently
let results = evaluate_parallel(&inputs, &data);

🛠️ Custom Functions

Register custom functions with their own derivative rules.

use symb_anafis::{Diff, UserFunction};

Diff::new()
    .user_fn("f", UserFunction::new(1..=1).partial(0, |args| {
        // Define ∂f/∂u = 2u for f(u)
        2.0 * args[0].clone()
    }))
    .diff_str("f(x^2)", "x")?; // → 4*x^3
