LyX ⇒ How to make a matrix that wolfram and symbolab can read

[hanmah]

Hello,

I would like to be able to visually write math equations in lyx and then copy them to wolfram and symbolab to compute the answer. For example I can copy

Code: Select all

\left(-1-\lambda\right)\cdot\left(1-\lambda\right)\left(-\lambda\right)+3

into those sites and they will be able to read it and give me the answer, however they do not understand

Code: Select all

\begin{pmatrix}1 & 0 & 1\\
0 & 0 & 1\\
-3 & 1 & 3
\end{pmatrix}\cdot\begin{pmatrix}1 & -1 & 0\\
3 & -6 & 1\\
0 & 1 & 0
\end{pmatrix}

Do you have any recommendations?

I don't know how to do exactly what you want, but you could consider using Maxima, with which LyX has good integration. To download an example document, run this command:

Code: Select all

wget --output-document=maxima.lyx "http://marc.info/?l=lyx-devel&m=137720956926816&q=p3"

(or just go there and save as should probably work)

Then open maxima.lyx and follow the instructions.

LyX + maxima works great for me.

LyX + maxima works great for me.

I cannot see how to do matrix multiplications with it. Is there a way?

Good question (and clearly related to your original post). I don't know. I would suggest sending an email to lyx-users@lists.lyx.org.
