Math.js is an extensive math library for JavaScript and Node.js. It features a flexible expression parser with support for symbolic computation, comes with a large set of built-in functions and constants, and offers an integrated solution to work with dif

   * Create the powerset of a (multi)set. (The powerset contains very possible subsets of a (multi)set.)
   * A multi-dimension array will be converted to a single-dimension array before the operation.
   *
   * Syntax:
   *
   *    math.setPowerset(set)
   *
   * Examples:
   *
   *    math.setPowerset([1, 2, 3])        // returns [[], [1], [2], [3], [1, 2], [1, 3], [2, 3], [1, 2, 3]]
