| 3 | ## Usage
|
| 4 |
|
| 5 | The core of math.js is the `math` namespace containing all functions and constants. There are three ways to do calculations in math.js:
|
| 6 |
|
| 7 | - Doing regular function calls like `math.add(math.sqrt(4), 2)`.
|
| 8 | - Evaluating expressions like `math.evaluate('sqrt(4) + 2')`
|
| 9 | - Chaining operations like `math.chain(4).sqrt().add(2)`.
|

|
| 11 | ## Configuration
|
| 12 |
|
| 13 | math.js can be configured using the `math.config()`, see page [Configuration](configuration.md).
|
| 14 |
|
| 15 | ## Extension
|
| 16 |
|
| 17 | math.js can be extended with new functions and constants using the function `math.import()`, see page [Extension](extension.md).
|
| 18 |
|
| 19 | ## Serialization
|
| 20 |
|
| 21 | To persist or exchange data structures like matrices and units, the data types of math.js can be stringified as JSON. This is explained on the page [Serialization](serialization.md).
