# ext-math

A PHP extension providing comprehensive mathematics support.

# Introduction

At the moment, this repository is acting as a place to put research and planned scope/design.

# Planned Features

- Core Principles:

  - Seemless and performant transition between standard precision and arbitrary precision to allow replacement of scalars without significant increases in RAM/CPU usage unless high precision is being actively used.

  - Portability of types, regardless of base or precision, across different operations and features within the extension

  - Extended math features currently not available in PHP

  - Should have full operator overload support for all types provided to again act as full replacements for scalars

- Type System:

  - Decimals

    - Reals

    - Imaginary

    - Multiple Bases

  - Fractions

    - Reals

    - Imaginary

    - Multiple Bases

  - Complex

    - Composed of Decimals/Fractions

  - Matrices

    - Composed of Decimals/Fractions/Complex

  - Tuples

- Operations/Domains:

  - Arithmetic

  - Bitwise Arithmetic

  - Trigonometry

  - Statistics

    - Including things such as erf() and inverse erf()

    - At a minimum support for gaussian normal distributions, exponential distributions, and poisson distributions

  - RNG (non-cryptographic & cryptographic)

  - Rounding

  - Calculus (where analytical solutions are possible)

  - Grid/Graph/Coordinate systems

    - Including pathfinding algorithms

  - Combinatorics/Permutations

# Possible Libraries/Utilities

- FLINT + Arb

- MPDecimal
