free wolfram engine - WolframEngine install + wolframclient for Python on Ubuntu



I downloaded the latest Wolfram Engine for Developers 12.0 (Linux).


I installed it in a non-default location: /opt/Wolfram/WolframEngine/12.0/ ran wolframscript, everything worked.


Then I installed the Python client, wolframclient. I followed this example (https://reference.wolfram.com/language/WolframClientForPython/): The default session = WolframLanguageSession() gave the following exception:


>>> from wolframclient.evaluation import WolframLanguageSession
>>> from wolframclient.language import wl, wlexpr
>>> session = WolframLanguageSession()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/wolframclient/evaluation/kernel/localsession.py", line 121, in __init__
    **kwargs)

  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/wolframclient/evaluation/kernel/kernelcontroller.py", line 132, in __init__
    'Invalid kernel value. Expecting a filepath as a string.')
ValueError: Invalid kernel value. Expecting a filepath as a string.

I tried various paths for the kernel paramter, but which path? So I assumed it was because I installed it in /opt instead of /usr/local. So then I deleted /opt/Wolfram (but I forgot to delete /usr/bin/wolframscript (symbolic link)). Then I re-installed Wolfram Engine. This time the installer didn't create the WolframScript directory. The symbolic link was pointing to it before.


However I do get these executables, that when I run wolfram looks like it could have been the target of the wolframscript symbolic link.


lcordier@tardis:/usr/local/Wolfram/WolframEngine/12.0/Executables$ ls -g
total 44
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 5085 May 25 02:44 math
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 5085 May 25 02:44 MathKernel

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 2024 May 25 02:44 mcc
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 5085 May 25 02:44 wolfram
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 5085 May 25 02:44 WolframKernel
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 3530 May 25 02:44 wolframplayer
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 3530 May 25 02:44 WolframPlayer

So I tried the pythonclient example again, with the same ValueError: Invalid kernel value. exception.


So as a final step, I re-installed Wolfram Engine, this time leaving the existing directories in place. The installer correctly figured out that there were directories to be overwritten and prompted me as such. But it still didn't create the WolframScript directory or made to worlramscript symbolic link. And the Python example still doesn't work. I am having no joy ;)

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-...
