A Node.js library that solves math expressions and equations and returns human-readable step-by-step explanations of each transformation. It is the open-source math engine behind Socratic-style homework help.

Use cases

  • show step-by-step solutions to algebra equations
  • simplify expressions like 2x + 2x + x + x in code
  • build a math tutoring or homework help app
  • explain each algebraic change type programmatically
  • solve linear equations like 2x + 3x = 35 with substeps

When to choose

  • you need explainable, pedagogical math steps rather than just final answers
  • you are building a Node.js education or tutoring tool
  • you want to inspect intermediate transformation states of expressions

When to avoid

  • you need a full computer algebra system with calculus or advanced math
  • you need a numeric solver or high-performance computation
  • you need a maintained project with frequent releases
