Mathtools (pmxutils.mathtools)

• construct(expression, var=x)

  Returns a function computing the given expression

  • expression - The mathematical expression to compute, type = string
  • var - The variable used in the mathematical expression, defaults tp 'x', type = string

• computeLists(function, low, high, step=1)

  Returns a touple of two lists containing x values inbetween low and high, and the computed results for y. In the format of (x_list, y_list)

  • low - The lower end of the function limit, type = number
  • high - The upper end of the function limit, type = number
  • function - The mathematical expression to use for y value computation, type = string or function from construct
  • step - The step size in the x value list, defaults to '1', type = number

• newton(function, derivative, low, high, tolerance=1e-8, rounding = 3, iterations = 1000)

  Uses Newtons way of finding the root of a function, using the function and its derivative, within the given limits.Returns None if it can't find a solution that satisfies the tolerance after the defined number of terations

  • function - The target mathematical expression, type = string or function from construct
  • derivative - The derivative of the target mathematical expression, type = string or function from construct
  • low - The lower end of the are which should be checked for roots, type = number
  • high - The upper end of the are which should be checked for roots, type = number
  • tolerance - The tolerance for error to speed up computation, defaults to '1e-8', type = number
  • rounding - Rounds the x value for the root to the specified amount of decimals, defaults to '3', type = number
  • iterations - The number of tries, after which the function will end early

• isInbetween(number, low, high)

  Returns True if number is inbetween limOne and limTwo, returns False otherwise

  • number - The number to be checked, type = number
  • low - The lower limit for which the number is checked, type = number
  • high - The upper limit for which the number is checked, type = number

• rectangleIntegral(function, low, high, n)

  Returns the numerically calculated integral of the function f inbetween a and b using n rectangles

  • function - The function to integrate, type = string or function from construct
  • low - The low end of the area the be computed, type = number
  • high - The high end of the area to be computed, type = number
  • n - The number of rectangles to use, type = int

• trapezoidIntegral(function, low, high, n)

  Returns the numerically calculated integral of the function f inbetween a and b using n trapezoids

  • function - The function to integrate, type = string or function from construct
  • low - The low end of the area the be computed, type = number
  • high - The high end of the area to be computed, type = number
  • n - The number of trapezoids to use, type = int

loading()

Loading class

• start(flavor="loading")

  Starts a loading sequence

  • flavor - The message to be displayed during loading, defaults to 'loading', type = string

• stop()

  Stops the loading sequence

• animate()

  DO NOT USE, internal function
