/**
* This example demonstrates how to run math.js in a child process with limited
* execution time.
*
* Prerequisites:
*
* npm install express workerpool
*
* Start the server:
*
* node ./server.js
*
* Make a request to the server:
*
* GET http://localhost:8080/mathjs?expr=sqrt(16)
*
* Note that the query parameter `expr` should be properly url encoded.
