the API is really clear and aesthetic. the whole work seems self contained. it is just awesome. im excited to think about an addition for matrices and combinatorics and calculus as well. this deserves to become like a Magma for js. unlike quite a lot of Shown HN this already seems complete, even the documentation, so aside from hoping it expands I feel there isnt much missing to point out. maybe a calculator graphical interface to produce expressions? oh and defnitely big num support!
- nicolewhite 11y agoAt one point I did have an interactive example on the project page where you could manipulate an expression with a calculator-looking number pad, but after I ran it by a few friends they seemed mostly confused by its functionality so I removed it. I definitely want to expand the library's functionality; this project has been my go-to for when I'm burnt out on other projects so I don't plan on putting it down anytime soon. Some basic calculus seems like a natural next step, though that might betray the name algebra.js. :)
- 1arity 11y agoMaybe do the Alphabet thing and subsume them all under a parent project name! A is for Algebra :) ( Whiteboard ? A place to do math, obviously, and you did say you go to it when bored of other projects. )
