Mathematical functions

Functions of the JavaScript Object Math

The following functions are part of every JavaScript virtual machine:

• Math.abs;
• Math.acos;
• Math.asin;
• Math.atan;
• Math.ceil;
• Math.cos;
• Math.exp;
• Math.floor;
• Math.log;
• Math.max;
• Math.min;
• Math.random;
• Math.sin;
• Math.sqrt;
• Math.tan;

JSXGraph expands the set of available mathematical functions. These functions are part of the JXG.Math namespace which itself contains several namespaces like JXG.Math.Numerics and JXG.Math.Geometry.

• JXG.Math.Geometry.angle(A, B, C): for Point objects A, B, C. (A: name string, id string or object pointer)
• JXG.Math.Geometry.rad(A, B, C)
• JXG.Math.Geometry.distance(arr1, arr2): Euclidean distane between two vectors
• JXG.Math.pow(a, b): [math]\displaystyle{ a^b }[/math] for floating point value of b. Math.pow is defined for integer values of b', only.
• JXG.Math.cosh(x)
• JXG.Math.sinh(x)
• JXG.Math.Numerics.D(f): Numerically computed derivative of the function f, returns a function.
• JXG.Math.Numerics.I(interval,f): Numerically computed v alue integral of the function f in the given interval.
• JXG.Math.Numerics.root(f,x): root of the function f. Uses Newton method with start value x.
• JXG.Math.factorial(n): computes [math]\displaystyle{ n! = n\cdot(n-1)\cdots2\cdot 1 }[/math].
• JXG.Math.Numerics.lagrangePolynomial(p): returns a function which describes the Lagrange polynomial through the points in the array p.
• JXG.Math.Numerics.neville(p): returns the parent array which describes the polynomial curve through the points in the array p.
