Equation

The Equation element allows data for n-dimensional algebraic data to be entered. The Expression element should contain an dependent variable followed by an = sign and an equation containing independent variables. The independent and dependent variables are then defined by their respective tags. The only mathematical operations allowed are ^ (power), + (addition), - (subtraction), / (division), and * (multiplication). Example: z=x+2*y^2 would have an DependentVariable with a name = z, and two IndependentVariable(s) with names of x and y. Descriptions would be included for each variable, along with unit and dataType information identifying the variable and its role.
