Is there a method to use a format (like MathML/MathJax) in C++ that can be evaluated?

Question

I am currently working on an application that graphs an equation, calculates the area beneath the curve, rotates this area, then compiles a 3D model based upon this. As of now my input equations have been "hard-coded" into the application's source code.

Example of hardcoded input:

double y = abs(qSin(qPow(graphXValue,graphXValue))/qPow(2, (qPow(graphXValue,graphXValue)-M_PI/2)/M_PI))

My question is: Is there an input format (like MathML or Math Jax) that can be used to input the math expression like:

but also have the C++ evaluate said expression.

Answer 1

LibSBML can parse MathML and other formats and produce an Abstract Syntax Tree that can be evaluated in C++. See their ASTNode class for more details.
