-NAME
-    ctools_math_expr - safely evaluate math expressions
-
-SYNOPSIS
-      include('ctools_math_expr.class.php');
-      $m = new ctools_math_expr;
-      // basic evaluation:
-      $result = $m->evaluate('2+2');
-      // supports: order of operation; parentheses; negation; built-in functions
-      $result = $m->evaluate('-8(5/2)^2*(1-sqrt(4))-8');
-      // create your own variables
-      $m->evaluate('a = e^(ln(pi))');
-      // or functions
-      $m->evaluate('f(x,y) = x^2 + y^2 - 2x*y + 1');
-      // and then use them
-      $result = $m->evaluate('3*f(42,a)');
-
-DESCRIPTION
-    Use the ctools_math_expr class when you want to evaluate mathematical expressions
-    from untrusted sources.  You can define your own variables and functions,
-    which are stored in the object.  Try it, it's fun!
-
-METHODS
-    $m->evalute($expr)
-        Evaluates the expression and returns the result.  If an error occurs,
-        prints a warning and returns false.  If $expr is a function assignment,
-        returns true on success.
-
-    $m->e($expr)
-        A synonym for $m->evaluate().
-
-    $m->vars()
-        Returns an associative array of all user-defined variables and values.
-
-    $m->funcs()
-        Returns an array of all user-defined functions.
-
-PARAMETERS
-    $m->suppress_errors
-        Set to true to turn off warnings when evaluating expressions
-
-    $m->last_error
-        If the last evaluation failed, contains a string describing the error.
-        (Useful when suppress_errors is on).
