functions - Make mathematica create equations and put them into NSolve


I want to be able to define n shapes and find the intersection between them and a line. I'm treating the shapes as "one" shape, i.e. I do not want any internal intersections (hence the volume equations).


I can do this by typing out each shape and equation as follows:


line = InfiniteLine[{{0.5, 0.5, 0.5}, {0.5, 0.5, 1}}];



(*shapes - I can define these*) 
shape1 = Ball[];
shape2 = Cone[{{0, 0, 0}, {1, 1, 1}}, 1/2];


(*------------ I want from here  automated ---------*) 
(*surface equations *) 
surfaceequations1 = RegionMember[RegionBoundary[shape1], {x, y, z}];
surfaceequations2 = RegionMember[RegionBoundary[shape2], {x, y, z}];


volumeequation1 = RegionMember[shape1, {x, y, z}];
volumeequation2 = RegionMember[shape2, {x, y, z}];

intersection = 
 NSolve[{x, y, z} \[Element] 
    line && (surfaceequations1 || 
     surfaceequations2) && ! (volumeequation1 && volumeequation2), {x,
    y, z}];


(* ---------- automation can stop here ---------- *) 


points = Point[{x, y, z}] /. intersection

Graphics3D[{{Opacity[0.5], shape1}, {Opacity[0.7], shape2}, 
  line, {Red, PointSize[0.015], points}}]

But this method means I have to type out each equation for each shape. If I change the number of shapes, I have to go through code and delete some.



Edit:


The correct logic to find the intersection with the shape as whole (rather than the intersections with the individual n shapes) is actually:


 intersection = 
 NSolve[{x, y, z} \[Element] 
    line && (surfaceequations1 || surfaceequations2 || 
     surfaceequations3) && ! (volumeequation1 && 
      volumeequation2) && ! (volumeequation2 && 
      volumeequation3) && ! (volumeequation1 && volumeequation3), {x, 
   y, z}]


i.e. for the intersection with the line to not to be within the shape, it must not be within any two shapes. This means its properly treated as one shape.


So, now shape1 = Ball[]; shape2 = Cone[]; shape3 = Cuboid[]; works as expected.


The Problem


I want to be able to define n shapes, then mathematica defines the n surface equations, and the n volume equations and puts them into NSolve.


Also; apologies for the bad question title - I'm not sure what to call this problem.



Answer



ClearAll[constraints, intersections]
constraints[shapes__]:= And[##& @@ (Not /@ 
  Through[(RegionMember[RegionIntersection @ ##] & @@@ Subsets[{shapes}, {2}])@#]), 
 RegionMember[RegionUnion @@ (RegionBoundary /@ {shapes})]@#] &


intersections[l_, s__]:=NSolve[#\[Element] l && constraints[s][#], #]& @
 ({x, y, z}[[;; RegionEmbeddingDimension[l]]])

Examples:


line = InfiniteLine[{{0.5, 0.5, 0.5}, {0.5, 0.5, 1}}];
shape1 = Ball[]; 
shape2 = Cone[{{0, 0, 0}, {1, 1, 1}}, 1/2];
shape3 = Cuboid[];


intersections[line, shape1, shape2]


{{x -> 0.5 ,y -> 0.5, z -> -0.7071067811865475},
{x -> 0.5, y -> 0.5, z -> 0.7542812707978059}}



 Graphics3D @ {line, Opacity[.5, Green], shape1, Opacity[.5, Blue], shape2, 
    PointSize[.05], Opacity[1, Red], 
   Point[{x, y,z} /. intersections[line, shape1,shape2]]}


enter image description here


intersections[line, shape1, shape2, shape3]


 {{x -> 0.5, y -> 0.5, z -> 1.}, {x -> 0.5, y -> 0.5, z -> 1.}, {x -> 0.5, y -> 0.5, z -> -1.}}



Graphics3D @ {line, Opacity[.5, Green], shape1, Opacity[.5, Blue], shape2, 
   Opacity[.5, Yellow], shape3, PointSize[.05], Opacity[1, Red], 
   Point[{x, y,z} /. intersections[line, shape1,shape2, shape3]]}

Replace shape3 with Cuboid[{0, 0, -3/2}] to get

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-...
