<h3><strong>Cortex Compute Engine</strong></h3>
<h1>Symbolic manipulation and numeric evaluation of MathJSON expressions</h1>

[MathJSON](https://cortexjs.io/math-json/) is a lightweight mathematical
notation interchange format based on JSON.

The Cortex Compute Engine can parse LaTeX to MathJSON, serialize MathJSON to
LaTeX, format, simplify and evaluate MathJSON expressions.

## Using Compute Engine

```bash
$ npm install --save @cortex-js/compute-engine
```

```js
import { parse, evaluate } from "@cortex-js/compute-engine";

const expr = parse("2^{11}-1 \\in \\P");

console.log(expr);
// ➔ ["Element", ["Subtract", ["Power", 2, 11] , 1], "PrimeNumber"]

console.log(evaluate(expr));
// ➔ "False"
```
