A web interface for RIES (RILYBOT Inverse Equation Solver) by Robert Munafo.

This web application allows users to enter a numerical value and find mathematical equations that produce that value. For example, entering π (3.14159) will find equations like:

• x² = 10 - π (an identity involving π)
• x ln(x) = 1 (the value where x ln(x) equals 1)
• e^(x/2) = 4 (the value where e raised to x/2 equals 4)

RIES is particularly useful for mathematical research, identifying constants, and finding unexpected relationships between mathematical expressions.

• WebAssembly-powered RIES equation solver
• Responsive, React-based UI
• MathJax for beautiful mathematical formula display
• Support for a wide range of mathematical functions and constants

1. Clone this repository
2. Install dependencies with npm install
3. Run the development server with npm run dev
4. Open your browser to the URL shown in the terminal (usually http://localhost:3000)

npm run build

This will create a production-ready build in the dist directory.

To run tests for the FORTH parser:

npm test

To rebuild the RIES WebAssembly module:

# Install and activate Emscripten
git clone https://github.com/emscripten-core/emsdk.git
cd emsdk
./emsdk install latest
./emsdk activate latest
source ./emsdk_env.sh

# Build the WASM module
emcc -O2 ries.c -o public/ries.js \
     -s WASM=1 \
     -s MODULARIZE=1 \
     -s 'EXPORT_NAME="createRIESModule"' \
     -s INVOKE_RUN=0 \
     -s EXPORTED_FUNCTIONS='["_main"]' \
     -s EXPORTED_RUNTIME_METHODS='["ccall","callMain"]' \
     -s ALLOW_MEMORY_GROWTH=1 \
     -lm

The application uses:

1. WebAssembly: The core RIES algorithm is compiled to WebAssembly from C for performance
2. FORTH Parser: A custom parser converts FORTH notation (used by RIES) to LaTeX
3. React: The UI is built with React and React Query for state management
4. MathJax: Mathematical equations are rendered using MathJax
