DJep - differentiation, vectors and matrices in JEP

The DJep collection of packages offers a number of extensions to the standard JEP package:

Printing: equations can be easily printed or converted to strings with intelligent handling of brackets.
Simplification equations like 2.0*x^1.0*1.0+0.0 equations can be simplified to produce 2.0*x
Differentiation: equations can be differentiated, these can be specified either programtically or in the equations themselves.
Vectors and Matrices: Full support for vector and matrix operations.
Utilities for working with parse trees a number of utilities are available for programtically creating and copying and working with the parse trees.
Groups Exact arithmetic over integers rationals and other groups.

These facilities are offered by packages in the org.lsmp.djep tree.

Feature	Package (JavaDoc)
Printing	org.lsmp.djep.xjep.*
Simplification	org.lsmp.djep.xjep.*
re-entrant parser	org.lsmp.djep.xjep.*
Variables with equations	org.lsmp.djep.xjep.*
Macro Functions (functions defined by an equation)	org.lsmp.djep.xjep.*
Utilities for examining and modifying the parse trees	org.lsmp.djep.xjep.*
Differentiation	org.lsmp.djep.djep.* (1)
Basic Vectors and Matrices	org.lsmp.djep.vectorJep.*
Advanced Vectors and Matrices	org.lsmp.djep.matrixJep.* (2)
Calculation over arbitrary groups including exact arithmetic over integers and rationals.	org.lsmp.djep.groupJep.*

Notes: (1) the org.lsmp.djep.xjep.* package also needs to be included when using differentiation. (2) the org.lsmp.djep.xjep.*, org.lsmp.djep.djep.* org.lsmp.djep.vectorJep.* packages need to be included when using MatrixJep.

Example applications

A number of example applications can be found in the org.lsmp.djepExamples.* package. Theres fall into two types AssignmentExample, XJepExample, PrintExample, DiffExample, VectorExample, VectorPrint, and MatrixSpeed are simple applications which give examples of different features. The other types of examples are console applications which allow equations to be typed in, these are DJepConsole, VectorConsole, MatrixConsole and GroupConsole.

Some JUnit test are available in the org.lsmp.djepJUnit.* package. These test many features of the packages and illustrate some of the features.
