matrix - Square bracketed matrices in Mathematica - precision markers?


I'm trying to display Matrices with square brackets in Mathematica.


I've found this post from a mailing list in 2009 http://forums.wolfram.com/mathgroup/archive/2009/Aug/msg00458.html and it seems to work fine for whole numbers and symbols.


NotebookWrite[InputNotebook[], 
 TemplateBox[{GridBox[{{a, b}, {c, d}}]}, "Identity", 

  DisplayFunction -> (RowBox[{StyleBox["[", 
        SpanMaxSize -> \[Infinity]], #1, 
       StyleBox["]", SpanMaxSize -> \[Infinity]]}] &)]]

(* Outputs: *)
Identity[{
  {a, b},
  {c, d}
 }]


(* Which displays correctly as a square matrix. *)

But as soon as I try to input floating point numbers, I get floating point precision markers displayed. For example:


NotebookWrite[InputNotebook[], 
 TemplateBox[{GridBox[{{2.1, 1}, {1, 1.2}}]}, "Identity", 
  DisplayFunction -> (RowBox[{StyleBox["[", 
        SpanMaxSize -> \[Infinity]], #1, 
       StyleBox["]", SpanMaxSize -> \[Infinity]]}] &)]]

(* Outputs: *)

Identity[{
  {2.1000000000000001`, 1},
  {1, 1.2`}
 }]

(* Which displays correctly as a square matrix. *)

I don't see any function in there that would force the numbers to be evaluated into machine precision form. I think using HoldForm or others could solve this issue but I'm not too sure where that can be placed since GridBox needs a list and RowBox needs a box - evaluating them individually displays decimal numbers just fine.


For clarification, I'm looking for something like this:


(* In the square bracketed matrix display form of course *)

Identity[{
  {2.1, 1},
  {1, 1.2}
 }]

Any help for a beginner? Thank you!



Answer



makeBrackMat[mat_?MatrixQ] := 
     DisplayForm[
         RowBox[{StyleBox["[", SpanMaxSize -> \[Infinity]], 

                 GridBox[mat], 
                 StyleBox["]", SpanMaxSize -> \[Infinity]]}
         ]
     ];

Exact numbers:


mat1 = Partition[Range[12], 3];
makeBrackMat[mat1]

enter image description here



Machine-precision numbers:


mat2 = {{1.3, 2.9}, {9.5, 8.4}, {7.6, 0.2}};
makeBrackMat[mat2]

enter image description here

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...

How to thread a list

I have data in format data = {{a1, a2}, {b1, b2}, {c1, c2}, {d1, d2}} Tableform: I want to thread it to : tdata = {{{a1, b1}, {a2, b2}}, {{a1, c1}, {a2, c2}}, {{a1, d1}, {a2, d2}}} Tableform: And I would like to do better then pseudofunction[n_] := Transpose[{data2[[1]], data2[[n]]}]; SetAttributes[pseudofunction, Listable]; Range[2, 4] // pseudofunction Here is my benchmark data, where data3 is normal sample of real data. data3 = Drop[ExcelWorkBook[[Column1 ;; Column4]], None, 1]; data2 = {a #, b #, c #, d #} & /@ Range[1, 10^5]; data = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {10^6, 4}]; Here is my benchmark code kptnw[list_] := Transpose[{Table[First@#, {Length@# - 1}], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list kptnw2[list_] := Transpose[{ConstantArray[First@#, Length@# - 1], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list OleksandrR[list_] := Flatten[Outer[List, List@First[list], Rest[list], 1], {{2}, {1, 4}}] paradox2[list_] := Partition[Riffle[list[[1]], #], 2] & /@ Drop[list, 1] RM[list_] := FoldList[Transpose[{First@li...

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-...
