Mathematical Notation

This appendix documents the mathematical notation used throughout MathHook.

LaTeX Support

MathHook can parse standard LaTeX mathematical notation:

• \frac{a}{b} - Fractions
• \sqrt{x} - Square root
• x^{2} - Exponentiation
• \sin(x), \cos(x), \tan(x) - Trigonometric functions
• \log(x), \ln(x) - Logarithms
• \sum, \prod, \int - Summation, product, integral
• Greek letters: \alpha, \beta, \gamma, etc.

Standard Notation

• 2*x or 2x - Multiplication (implicit multiplication supported)
• x^2 - Exponentiation
• x/y - Division
• sin(x) - Functions
• |x| - Absolute value

Wolfram Language

MathHook also supports Wolfram Language syntax:

• Power[x, 2] - Exponentiation
• Sin[x] - Functions
• D[expr, x] - Derivatives
• Integrate[expr, x] - Integration

Operator Precedence

1. Function application: sin(x), log(y)
2. Exponentiation: ^ (right-associative)
3. Multiplication/Division: *, / (left-associative)
4. Addition/Subtraction: +, - (left-associative)
