We must respect the fact that each (less than 100) operation starts with Math. containing only !/^[a-zA-Z0-9.]+$/ alphanumeric characters.

Note that the Math.seeds array contains 5 floating-point numbers, like the 5 letters of the word alert which could attract our attention!

The eval() function evaluates code represented as a string and returns its completion value, so we soon realize that there's a flaw with the use of eval here:

function calculateResult() {
    result.innerText = eval(result.innerText)
}

Introspection

By fiddling with the url parameter q and reading the Math global object documentation, we wonder whether there might be an underlying problem.

The value q=Math.cos returns a NaN (the global property representing Not-A-Number) element.

The value q=Math.E returns the following error:

VM170:1 Uncaught TypeError: Math.E is not a function
    at eval (eval at calculateResult (index.html:64:30), <anonymous>:1:6)
    at calculateResult (index.html?q=Math.E:211:30)
    at index.html?q=Math.E:192:11
    at index.html?q=Math.E:231:9

Solution

Without too much expectation, we understand that we need to chain Math's properties/methods with seeds to create an alert as Math.constructor.constructor.call.call(Math.constructor.constructor('alert(document.domain)')) intended.

There are various codegolf approaches to achieve this but we will focus on what comes to mind when we read some articles:

All that is left to do is to swap/reverse the lines (with commas instead of the left parenthesis) and remove superfluous brackets as here:

Defense

Be careful with eval, especially without some Content Security Policy.
