The following math commands are being moved to nu-cmd-extra
* e (euler)
* exp
* ln
This should conclude moving the extra math commands as discussed in
yesterday's
core team meeting...
The remaining math commands will stay in nu-command (for now)....
The following math commands are being moved to nu-cmd-extra
* cos
* cosh
* egamma
* phi
* pi
* sin
* sinh
* tan
* tanh
* tau
For now I think we have most of the obvious commands moved over based on
@sholderbach this should cover moving the "high school" commands..
>>Yeah I think this rough separation into "high school" math in extra
and "middle school"/"programmer" math in the core makes a ton of sense.
And to reference the @fdncred list from
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/9647#issuecomment-1629498812
* arccos
* arccosh
* arcsin
* arcsinh
* arctan
* arctanh
The above commands are being ported over to nu-cmd-extra
I initially moved all of the math commands over but there are some
issues with the tests...
So we will move them over slowly --- and actually I kind of like this
idea better...
Because some of the math commands we might want to leave in the core
nushell...
Stay tuned...

Adding more float constants for when

And fixing a small conflation in the description of the Euler number.
Please take a look and let me know if I've missed or screwed up
anything.
# Description
I copied the `math ln` command and replaced the relevant parts to
implement `math exp`.
# User-Facing Changes
The `math exp` command was added. Now one can do `[1, 2, 3] | math exp`
to get e to the power of these numbers.
# Tests + Formatting
I only wrote example tests, same as for `math ln`, which also does not
have special tests. I have ran into an issue with the tests but it seems
completely unrelated (see #8687)
# After Submitting
This PR was done in order to make the documentation complete, so I'm not
adding any documentation except `math ln`.
Reasoning:
Most missing math commands are implemented with #7258.
The `meval` crate itself declares that it doesn't strive to stringent
standards (https://docs.rs/meval/latest/meval/#related-projects).
For example no particular special casing or transformations are
performed to ensure numerical stability. It uses the same rust `std`
library functions we use or have access to (and `f64`).
While the command call syntax in nushell may be a bit more verbose,
having a single source of truth and common commands is beneficial.
Furthermore the `math` commands can themselves implement broadcasting
over lists (or table columns).
Closes#7073
Removed dependencies:
- `meval`
- `nom 1.2.4` (duplicate)
User-Facing Changes:
Scripts using `math eval` will break.
We remove a further `eval` like behavior to get results through runtime evaluation (albeit limited in scope)
Tests:
- Updated tests that internally used `math eval`.
- Removed one test that primarily used `math eval` to obtain a result from `str join`
Adds new command `math log` that takes as a required positional argument
a base.
Specialized for `math log 2` and `math log 10` for better performance
and precision that matches the expectations there. This leads to
discontinuities in numerical error but should make a better trade-off
for common usecases.
Example testing of the happy path
