DESCRIPTION

The L math processor (lmp) implements many basic primitives for mathematical solution of equations and terms just like the shell built-in 'expr'. But further lmp handles floating point numbers and knows some more operations.

INSTALL

Read INSTALL.

IMPROVEMENTS SINCE VERSION 0.2.6:

• added support for complex functions and numbers
• removed some of bugs
• default options though environment variable LMP_OPTIONS
• rewritten engine
• differentiation support
• sum and prod controls

See also NEWS and ChangeLog.

A LIST OF OPERATIONS IMPLEMENTED in lmp:

• binary + addition
  • subtraction
    • multiplication

/ division

^ power

log n-base logarithm

• unary sin sine

cos cosine

tan tangent

cot cotangent

arcsin arcsine

arccos arc cosine

arctan arc tangent

ln logarithm on base e

lg logarithm on base 10

exp exponential function

sqrt square root

• comparative == equal

!= not equal

< smaller than

> greater then

<= smaller or equal

>= greater or equal

• logical and one and the other (evaluated AFTER ==, *, ...)

or one or the other or both (evaluated AFTER and, ==, *, ...)

• controls diff differenziation

int integration

sum Sum terms

prod Prod terms
