js-mathlib

Package for some useful math operations. Currently includes:

• Matrix class (includes solving linear equations)
• vect2d class
• vect3d class

Planned for future:

• More equations (not only linear) 👍
• Find intersections of different functions

Using Matrix class

Creating and multiplying matrices.

DiagMatrix, ColMatrix, RowMatrix are subclasses of Matrix and share all methods

const {Matrix, DiagMatrix, ColMatrix, RowMatrix} = require("@zombocode/js-mathlib");
var A = new Matrix([[4, 0, 2], [0, 5, 1], [0, 4, 5]]) //define the whole matrix here
var B = new DiagMatrix([2, 1, 3]) //define only through the diagonal (but use like a normal matrix)

var C = A.mult(B) // multiply
var C2 = A.add(B) // add
var C3 = A.minus(B.multNum(3)) //A - 3B

Solving systems of linear equations

var b = new ColMatrix([10, 5, 6]) //define a column matrix

//want to solve an equation Cx = b for x
//iterative Jacobi method
var x = C.solveLinearSystem(b)
//iterative Seidel method
var x2 = C.solveLinearSystem2(b)

//exact method - Gaussian Elimination
var x3 = C.solveLinearGE(b)

//log the results
console.log("jacobi method")
x.printOut()
console.log("seidel method")
x2.printOut()
console.log("GE method")
x3.printOut()

Using vect2d class

Useful for 2d games or solving geometry problems

const {vect2d} = require("@zombocode/js-mathlib");

var pos = new vect2d(3, 4);
var norm = pos.getNormalized(); //normal vector, result (0.6, 0.8)

//movement using vect2d class
var vel = new vect2d(2, 0)
var dt = 0.5
pos = pos.add(vel.mult(dt))

//other functions between two vectors
var pos2 = new vect2d(1, -6)
var d = pos.dot(pos2) //dot product
var c = pos.cross(pos2) //cross product (gives a number)
var proj = pos.projectionOnto(pos2) //projection onto pos2
var ang = pos.angleTo(pos2) //gives in radians 

vect3d class

Works mostly the same as vect2d, however cross product results in a new vector

const {vect3d} = require("@zombocode/js-mathlib");

var pos = new vect3d(3, 4, 5);
//methods are analogous to vect2d
//however cross product works differently
var pos2 = new vect3d(1, 0, -1)
var prod = pos.cross(pos2)
