Yes. Yes it can.

Except it can't do your equations for you.

Simple math. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division.

Not algebra, geometry, or calculus.

Actually it can so VERY simple algebra. Such as:

x = 5
y = 4

Print(x * 2 + y * 2) -- gotta do the times symbol instead of just 2x + 2y

Actually, Lua can do algebra, geometry and calculus. It just needs some time staring at a screen full of code and a scanner :P
And you need to know the formulae for the stuff, too.

And for simple math: Lua can do Powers (or Indecies, whatever you would like to call them) using the ^ sign.

so all of the avaliable simple Lua math functions are:

^ % + - / *

math.floor()
math.ceil()
math.pi()

There's some functions you might want to know, too.

I've made multiple Lua scripts on Roblox to do my math and science homework in the past :P

Here's proof to what I said: "Lua can do calculus, gemoetry and algebra"

Lua is SO useful.

So are blocks that you drag and drop to make things happen.
