aamath is a program that reads mathematical expressions in infix
notation and renders them as ASCII art. It may be useful to send
mathematics through text-only media, such as e-mail or newsgroups.
As a simple example, the output for an expression such as
A_OPR = x*sqrt(x^2-1)/2 - int(sqrt(t^2-1), t = 1 .. x)
will look like
x
______ /
/ 2 | ______
x \/ x - 1 | / 2
A = ----------- - | \/ t - 1 dt
OPR 2 |
|
/
1
Other than the usual operations (addition, subtraction,
multiplication, division, and exponentiation), aamath can also handle
functions, integrals, limits, sums, products, matrices and
vectors.
