output formatting - Symbol with Subscript but no quotes in it!


If I use the following function to define me a fancy subscript:


Needs["Notation`"];
Symbolize[ParsedBoxWrapper[SubscriptBox["_", "_"]]]

SetAttributes[fancySubscript,HoldFirst]

fancySubscript[var_Symbol, tag_String, index_Integer] /;
  Not[ValueQ[var]] := Subscript[var, tag <> ToString[index]]


fancySubscript[var_Symbol, tags : {_String ..}, index_Integer] /; 
  Not[ValueQ[var]] := fancySubscript[var, #, index] & /@ tags

fancySubscript[var_Symbol, tags : {_String ..}, indices : {_Integer ..}] /; 
  Not[ValueQ[var]] := fancySubscript[var, tags, #] & /@ indices

I can use the following now:


fancySubscript[b, {"b"}, Range@3]



$\left( \begin{array}{c} b_{\text{b1}} \\ b_{\text{b2}} \\ b_{\text{b3}} \\ \end{array} \right)$



With the notation module by symbolizing the subscripts: the values are now :


b\[UnderBracket]Subscript\[UnderBracket]DoubleQuote\[UnderBracket]b1\[UnderBracket]DoubleQuote

1. Problem
But when I want to refer to such a variable in the list above and write with the shortcuts in a cell by typing b then Ctrl+_ then 1.


The variable is a new symbol because i did not use Quotes ""


b\[UnderBracket]Subscript\[UnderBracket]b1


How can we circumvent this that I can still write all variables in the cell and they are parsed and interpreted as the one defined in the fancySubscript command?


It is not so easy because, when I would use something like this:


fancySubscript[b, {b}, Range@3]

I would get an infinite loop, because it is no more a string, hm...


2. Problem:


I cannot assign it back to the variable b:


 b=fancySubscript[b, {"b"}, Range@3]

This gives an infinite loop, but when I try this:



btemp=fancySubscript[b, {"b"}, Range@3]
b=btemp

This should work, and not give an inifinte loop, because btemp contains the new defined symbols and they should then be assigned to b again, but also here mathematica trys to run a recursion which I dont understand??

functions - Get leading series expansion term?

Given a function f[x] , I would like to have a function leadingSeries that returns just the leading term in the series around x=0 . For example: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x)] x and leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x^3)/4)/(4 + x)] -(1/(16 x^3)) Is there such a function in Mathematica? Or maybe one can implement it efficiently? EDIT I finally went with the following implementation, based on Carl Woll 's answer: lds[ex_,x_]:=( (ex/.x->(x+O[x]^2))/.SeriesData[U_,Z_,L_List,Mi_,Ma_,De_]:>SeriesData[U,Z,{L[[1]]},Mi,Mi+1,De]//Quiet//Normal) The advantage is, that this one also properly works with functions whose leading term is a constant: lds[Exp[x],x] 1 Answer Update 1 Updated to eliminate SeriesData and to not return additional terms Perhaps you could use: leadingSeries[expr_, x_] := Normal[expr /. x->(x+O[x]^2) /. a_List :> Take[a, 1]] Then for your examples: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x), x] leadingSeries[Exp[x], x] leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x...

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...
