math.compile([expr1, expr2, expr3, ...]) // returns an array with nodes
```

### Parameters

Parameter | Type | Description

const code1 = math.compile('sqrt(3^2 + 4^2)')
code1.evaluate() // 5

let scope = {a: 3, b: 4}
const code2 = math.compile('a * b') // 12
code2.evaluate(scope) // 12
scope.a = 5
code2.evaluate(scope) // 20

const nodes = math.compile(['a = 3', 'b = 4', 'a * b'])
