equations 1.0.1

An equation solving library written in Dart. It also works with complex numbers and fractions!

An equation solving library written purely in Dart.

---

Thanks to dart_equations you're able to easily solve polynomial (algebraic) and nonlinear equations with ease. It's been written in Dart and it has no dependency on any framework: it can be directly used with Flutter for web, desktop and mobile. Here's a summary of the contents of the package:

• subclasses of Algebraic can be used to solve algebraic/polynomial equations;
• subclasses of Nonlinear can be used to solve nonlinear equations;
• Complex is used to easily handle complex number along with many useful methods

This package also depends on fraction in order to easily work with fractions.

Algebraic equations

Use one of the following classes to find the roots of a specific type of polynomial. You can use complex numbers and fractions.

Solver name	Equation	Field
Constant	f(x) = a	a ∈ C
Linear	f(x) = ax + b	a, b ∈ C
Quadratic	f(x) = ax2 + bx + c	a, b, c ∈ C
Cubic	f(x) = ax3 + bx2 + cx + d	a, b, c, d ∈ C
Quartic	f(x) = ax4 + bx3 + cx2 + dx + e	a, b, c, d, e ∈ C

When solving a polynomial up to the fourth degree, prefer using one of these classes rather than guessing the roots with a root-finding algorithm (see below). Here's a simple example of how you can solve polynomial equations:

// f(x) = (2-3i)x^3 + 6/5ix^2 - (-5+i)x - (9+6i)
final equation = Cubic(
  a: Complex(2, -3),
  b: Complex.fromImaginaryFraction(Fraction(6, 5)),
  c: Complex(5, -1),
  d: Complex(-9, -6)
);

final degree = equation.degree; // 3
final isReal = equation.isRealEquation; // false
final discr = equation.discriminant(); // -31299.688 + 27460.192i

// f(x) = (2 - 3i)x^3 + 1.2ix^2 + (5 - 1i)x + (-9 - 6i)
print("$equation");
// f(x) = (2 - 3i)x^3 + 6/5ix^2 + (5 - 1i)x + (-9 - 6i)
print("${equation.toStringWithFractions()}");

for (final root in equation.solutions()) print(root);
  print(root);

Nonlinear equations

Use one of the following classes, representing a root-finding algorithm, to find the roots of an equation. Only real numbers are allowed.

Method name
Bisection
Chords
Newton
Secant
Steffensen

Expressions are parsed using math_expressions, a very nice library that supports most of mathematical operators such as sine, cosine, tangent, logarithm and so on. Here's a simple example of how you can find the roots of an equation:

final newton = Newton("2*x+cos(x)", -1, maxSteps: 5);

final steps = newton.maxSteps; // 5
final tol = newton.tolerance; // 1.0e-10
final fx = newton.function; // 2*x+cos(x)
final guess = newton.x0; // -1

final solutions = await newton.solve();

final convergence = solutions.convergence.round(); // 2
final solutions = solutions.efficiency.round() // 1

/*

final guesses = solutions.guesses;
