Geometry Nodes: Math Expression Node

It is interesting and it looks the individual math operation nodes are necessary but in many cases it is very laborious and tedious to add and link every single math node for just a simple equation. Why not there is an option to have a math expression node to fit all the original math node into it? This will in turn save time and space, enhance readability, much easier to debug and work more efficiently. It can be made fancy looking with LaTeX but usual python scripted expression is already OK.

In the meantime, you might be interested in this addon, it can convert a mathematical expression into nodes:

It's being worked on:

The fancy math thing feels a bit too much though...

Well, but it looked as though it did not have any update for almost a year! ;(

i think I remember once having achieved this by using another Value node and creating a Simple Expression driver on it, which called values from the other two value nodes. Could be made simpler for sure! X)
