You can run equsol with the name of an equation file as argument to solve it.

If the file contains multiple equations you will receive the option to choose which equation to solve.

After selecting the equation equsol will run the equation and ask for your input for different variables required in the equation. After entering the values equsol will run the calculations and print the result in the screen.

The equation files are placed in the data folder. The files can contain one equation per line. Empty lines are ignored.

While writing equations variables are written within square brackets. Some examples are available within the downloaded data folder. The lines starting with # are treated as comments.
