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

mathematical optimization - Minimizing using indices, error: Part::pkspec1: The expression cannot be used as a part specification

I want to use Minimize where the variables to minimize are indices pointing into an array. Here a MWE that hopefully shows what my problem is. vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@ { Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; Minimize[{Total@((vec1[[#]] - vec2[[u[#]]])^2 & /@ Range[1, 3]), cons}, vars, Integers] The error I get: Part::pkspec1: The expression u[1] cannot be used as a part specification. >> Answer Ok, it seems that one can get around Mathematica trying to evaluate vec2[[u[1]]] too early by using the function Indexed[vec2,u[1]] . The working MWE would then look like the following: vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@{ Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; NMinimize[ {Total@((vec1[[#]] - Indexed[vec2, u[#]])^2 & /@ R...

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...

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]
