Improve the TypeScript definitions of functions like number, bignumber, boolean, and complex returning an array/matrix with known type of values

[brunoSnoww]

Currently the typescript definitions for Arrays and Matrices only supports number, BigNumber,Fraction or Complex

  type MathNumericType = number | BigNumber | Fraction | Complex
  type MathArray = MathNumericType[] | MathNumericType[][]
  type MathCollection = MathArray | Matrix

But there are functions, like 'number', that process Arrays with non-numeric types, but which are considered wrong by Typescript:

let m = [true,false,'1','2','3']

//type error
let toNumber = math.chain(m).number().done() // [ 1, 0, 1, 2, 3 ]

Maybe adding a generic matrix/array type should solve ?

Thanks for bringing this up.

Yes I think we can improve the TypeScript definitions of functions like number, bignumber, boolean, and complex in this regard, good point.

Anyone able to help improve the definitions of these functions?

Hi Josedejong,
Is this feature still needed? If yes, I can help.
