Lua Math package

[Milind Gupta <milind.gupta@...>]

Hi,

      I started putting together a set of libraries under a github repository(https://github.com/aryajur/LuaMath) to build a Math package for Lua. I needed something I could use from the standard latest Lua interpreter directly so can be embedded into programs that embed the standard interpreter. I am building it as I need features. For now it has the following:

- Complex numbers (Thanks to library from Philippe Castagliola http://philippe.castagliola.free.fr/LUA/complex.html)

- Basic plotting (Using IUP and help from Steve Donovan's code http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/iup/en/basic/)

- Solving single variable equations using Newton Raphson method

An example for plotting a bode plot is this:

require("LuaMath")

local plot = require "lua-plot" 

function func(s)

return 1000/((1+s)*(1+s/100))

end

local bp = plot.bodePlot{

func = func,

ini = 0.01,

finfreq = 1000,

steps = 20

}

bp.mag:Show({title="Magnitude Plot",size="HALFxHALF"})

bp.phase:Show({title="Phase Plot",size="HALFxHALF"})

More stuff is welcome.

Regards,

Milind
