Code Structure

SYMBOL

A SYMBOL is a mathematical expression (equation is not a SYMBOL, as it consists of two mathematical expressions). It may or may not contain other SYMBOL parameters.

Examples of symbol types- addition, multiplication, number, variable...

example of the symbol representation of mathematical expressions:

  • 4x + 3: addition(multiplication( number(4), variable(x) ), number(3))

  • x^2 : power(variable(x), number(2))

  • 34/2 : fraction(number(34), number(2))

  • 4ax : multiplication(number(4), variable(a), variable(x))

  • 2*(x+2) : multiplication(number(2), addition(variable(x),number(2)))

SYMBOL is an abstract class, and different types of SYMBOLS are subclasses.

NOTE ABOUT SYMBOLS: A SYMBOL is by default a MUTABLE object. Some SYMBOLS may be defined as an IMMUTABLE object (number, variable...)

STANDARIZATION

Usually, are many ways to represent the same mathematical expression:

  • 4 + 2 + 4 : addition(addition(4,2), 4)
  • 4 + 2 + 4: addition(4,2,4)
  • 4 + 2 + 4: addition(4, addition(2,4))

we want to be able to represent a mathematical expression in a canonical form.

STANDARIZATION is the act of transforming a SYMBOL to its canonical form:

we define different methods of STANDARIZATION of the different SYMBOL types.

example: for addition, if a parameter is an addition, we "extract" the nested addition's parameters to the nesting addition's parameter list:

addition(addition(4,2), 4) -> addition(4,2,4)

SIMPLIFICATION

A SIMPLIFICATION of mathematical expression is the act of transforming it to another equal mathematical expression which is in an always-prefered form.

example:

  • 4 + 2 -> 6
  • 4x*x -> 4x^2
  • 3*(x/2) -> 3x/2

Other forms of manipulation, such as opening of a polynom:

(x+2)(x-1) -> x^2 + x -2

are considered specific operations, and not SIMPLIFICATIONS, because we may want to keep them in their current state.

For example:

in (x+2)(x+4)(x-1)=0, we do not want to open the multiplication, so it must not be considered as a SIMPLIFICATION.
