mathjs is a comprehensive mathematics library for JavaScript and Node.js that provides advanced numerical, symbolic, and matrix computation capabilities through a flexible expression-based interface. The library supports a wide range of mathematical operations including algebra, statistics, complex numbers, fractions, units, matrices, and symbolic manipulation while maintaining compatibility across browsers and server environments. One of its defining features is its expression parser, which allows users to evaluate and manipulate mathematical expressions written in a natural math-like syntax. mathjs is highly modular, enabling developers to include only the functionality they need for optimized application size and performance. The project is widely used in scientific computing, educational software, calculators, engineering tools, and data analysis applications. Its architecture combines accessibility for beginners.
