Installation

[dependencies]
thales = "0.3.0"

Quick Start

Solve an Equation

use thales::{parse_equation, SmartSolver, Solver, Variable};

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let equation = parse_equation("2*x + 5 = 13")?;
    let solver = SmartSolver::new();
    let x = Variable::new("x");
    let (solution, path) = solver.solve(&equation, &x)?;

    // View step-by-step solution
    for step in path.steps() {
        println!("{}", step);
    }
    Ok(())
}

Coordinate Transformations

use thales::{Cartesian2D, Polar};

fn main() {
    let point = Cartesian2D::new(3.0, 4.0);
    let polar = point.to_polar();

    assert!((polar.r - 5.0).abs() < 1e-10);

    // Round-trip conversion
    let back = polar.to_cartesian();
    assert!((back.x - 3.0).abs() < 1e-10);
}
