%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
The underlying aim of the numerica package is to numerically
evaluate mathematical expressions in the LaTeX form in which
they are typeset. Version 3.0.0 of numerica requires a LaTeX
distribution from October 2020 or later (when xparse became
available in LaTeX2e systems), as well as the packages
amsmath and mathtools.
V.3.0.0 allows use of the decimal comma, evaluates multiple
expressions within the one \eval command, and can output
results in the form of fractions. See the documentation,
numerica.pdf, on these (and many other) enhancements, and
for how to use the package.

numerica – Numerically evaluate mathematical expressions in LaTeX form
This package defines a command to wrap around a mathematical expression in its LaTeX form and, once values are assigned to variables, numerically evaluate it. The intent is to avoid the need to modify the LaTeX form of the expression being evaluated. For programs with a preview facility like LyX, or compile-as-you-go systems, interactive back-of-envelope calculations and numerical exploration are possible within the document being worked on.
The package requires the bundles l3kernel and l3packages, and the amsmath and mathtools packages.
