About

Shore is a math library implemented in CoffeeScript. A browser interface is included.

Developed with Chrome, should work the same in Safari, a bit less polished in Firefox and Opera, and remain functional in IE.

Compiled copies of all files are included. Recommendedly after downloading MathJax you just need to open main.html and you're off.

Dependencies

To Use Library

• Your Imagination

To Use Interface

• Web browser
• MathJax in dep/mathjax-1.0.1 (recommended, a plain-text fallback is available for use without but it's not very good)

To Build Shore (Excluding Parser)

• CoffeeScript

To Build Parser

• Jison
• node.js

To Build Stylesheet

• Sass

Documentation

There'll be some once version 1.0 is finished.

TODO

v0.1

• Merge shore.Exponent with shore.Product.
• Implement all simple canonizations.

v0.2

• shore.System
  • Parsed from multiline input.
  • Can substitute value to solve simple systems.

v0.3

• Organize canonizations better.
• Support engineering notation in shore.parser.
• Complete initial version of shore.WithMarginOfError.
• Pretty formatting for shore.Number?

v1.0

• x ~ ~ t for double integral, etc.
• Make the code decent.
• Documentation!

v1.1

• shore.Inequality
  • Just ≠ for now.
• shore.Restricted
  • Implications of potential division by zero, and such.

Non-concrete Future Thinkings

• Clearly work out the way that you want substitutions to work.
• Some way to iteratively evaluate parts of the module so that code can be grouped logically, not just to satisfy dependencies. Perhaps some way to actually define dependencies.
• Abstract away identifier values.
• Support HTML5 offline cache?
• Make nice on iPod touch/iPhone.
• Maybe allow more conventional functions via subscripts:
  fib_n = fib_(n-1) + fib_(n-2); fib_0 = fib_1 = 1
• A node.js server script that allows for graceful degradation to performing calculations server-side in the absence of enabled JavaScript.
