How to perform mathematical operations?

Asked by Manel

It would be desirable to be able to perform multiplications, additions and so on. Is there any easy way to do so?

Not in the current release.
We should open a blueprint regarding this issue, with full discussion on what kind of expressions must be supported and how to implement them in multiple devices and languages. If we support operations only on the server-side, it will be fully supported with the GroovyBox implemetation, but if we aim to support slave-side operations they will have to be translated to the slave device's language.
Maybe we should strip down the expressions of some language like python, java, groovy, fortran (others?) and follow their conventions. We have to take care of the implementation issues arising on limited devices: floating point restrictions, division by zero policies, recursive expressions, expensive operations (sqrt, pow,...) and others.

Now implemented with Math Box.

Can you help with this problem?
