They +permit interaction between a text and a Mathematica buffer and, if +desired, the use of TeX/LaTeX to annotate Mathematica-based +explorations and programs. Inclusion of Mathematica-generated +graphics in TeX/LaTeX documents printed using PostScript is +supported. The tools also support the automatic generation of +Mathematica packages from Mathematica documents. + +With these tools one can interactively develop and refine teaching and +research documents. The interactive nature of the tools encourages +Mathematica-based exploration as a natural part of the writing +process. + + +Getting TeX/Mathematica +*********************** + +The TeX/Mathematica tools are available from Internet host +`chem.bu.edu' [128.197.30.18] by anonymous `ftp' in directory +`/pub/tex-mathematica'. The author can be reached at Internet address +`dan@chem.bu.edu'. + +The `ftp' directory contains four files + + * `README', which duplicates the information + in this node. + + * `CHANGES', which describes changes that have been made. + + * `tex-mma-j.ps.Z', the compressed PostScript documentation/example. + + * `tex-mma.tar.Z', the TeX/Mathematica distribution kit (includes the + first three files). + + +LaTeX description of TeX/Mathematica +==================================== + +The PostScript document `tex-mma-j.ps.Z' is derived from the LaTeX +description of TeX/Mathematica. Transfer the document from the +`ftp' directory in binary (image) mode and then print it with + + zcat tex-mma-j.ps.Z | lpr + +The source for this document is the LaTeX file `tex-mma-j.tex' and +the BibTeX file `tex-mma-j.bib'. You can use `tex-mma-j.tex' +as a LaTeX example of a TeX/Mathematica document. + + +Files in the distribution kit +============================= + +The file `tex-mma.tar.Z' contains the TeX/Mathematica +tools. These consist of the following: + +Documentation things: + + + * `tex-mma.texinfo', Texinfo documentation of TeX/Mathematica + + * `tex-mma.ps.Z', compressed Texinfo document + formatted with TeX into PostScript + + * `tex-mma.info', Info file + (this file) + for on-line Emacs documentation + + * `tex-mma-j.tex', LaTeX description/example of TeX/Mathematica + + * `tex-mma-j.bib', BibTeX file for `tex-mma-j.tex' + + * `tex-mma-j.ps.Z', compressed LaTeX documentation formatted in + PostScript + + * `sin3x.ps', Mathematica-generated figure included in + `tex-mma-j.tex' + + * `tex-mma-tex.tex', TeX example of TeX/Mathematica + + * `texinfo.tex', TeX macros used to format `tex-mma.texinfo' + + +GNU Emacs things: + + * `tex-mma.el', the `tex-mathematica' package + + * `math.el', David Jacobson's Mathematica mode package (*Note math::) + + * `unix-tex-mma.el', example implementation of cell-type `unix' + + +TeX/LaTeX things: + + * `mathematica10pt.tex', TeX 10 point TeX/Mathematica interface + + * `mathematica12pt.tex', TeX 12 point TeX/Mathematica interface + + * `mathematica.sty', LaTeX generic TeX/Mathematica interface + + * `mathematica.tex', macros for formatting TeX/Mathematica + documents, used by the preceding files + + +Shell scripts and Mathematica commands for processing graphics, and +shell script and template file for Mathematica package assembly: + + * `PSTeX.m', generates `psfig'-adapted graphics to a file, without + PostScript prolog + + * `addBBox', shell script called by `PSTeX' + + * `PSTeXpro.m', generates `psfig'-adapted graphics to a file, with + PostScript prolog + + * `addBBoxpro', shell script called by `PSTeXpro' + + * `addBBoxpro.awk', `awk' script called by `addBBoxpro' + + * `PSFile.m', generates full-page graphics to a file, with PostScript + prolog + + * `tex-mma-assemble-package', shell script for Mathematica package + assembly + + * `tex-mma-assemble-package.tmplt', Emacs Lisp template used by + `tex-mma-assemble-package' + + +This is from Cameron Smith (*Note addBBox::): + + * `mma.pro.1.2', Mathematica Version 1.2 PostScript prolog. Note + that a different prolog will be needed for Mathematica Version 2.0. + This will be available from the author (*Note Getting tex-math::). + +These are from Trevor Darrell's `psfig/tex' distribution (*Note psfig::): + + * `psfig.pro', `psfig' PostScript prolog. + + * `psfig.sty', `psfig' for LaTeX. + + * `psfig.tex', `psfig' for TeX. + + +Installation procedure +====================== + + 1. Transfer `tex-mma.tar.Z' in binary (image) mode into an empty + directory, and extract its contents, with (for example) + + zcat tex-mma.tar.Z | tar xvf - + + 2. Install the Info on-line documentation file `tex-mma.info' where + your Emacs looks for Info file. If desired, add a pointer to it to your + Info directory file so that it will appear in the Info top-level menu. + The source for `tex-mma.info' is `tex-mma.texinfo'. The file + `tex-mma.ps.Z' is the compressed TeX formatted version, made + using the `texinfo.tex' included in the distribution (see the + beginning of `tex-mma.texinfo' for directions). The formatted + version can be printed with + + zcat tex-mma.ps.Z | lpr + + It contains complete details of the TeX/Mathematica tools. + + 3. Edit `tex-mma.el' to + + * set `tex-mma-process-string' to the command + you use to start Mathematica (default is `math'); + + * set `tex-mma-info-file' to point to where you put the file + `tex-mma.info' + + 4. Run `M-x byte-compile' on `tex-mma.el' and store the resulting + `tex-mma.elc' wherever your GNU Emacs looks for files. + + 5. Add the following to the GNU Emacs initialization file + + (autoload 'tex-mathematica "tex-mma" + "Major-mode for interaction with Mathematica from TeX." t) + (autoload 'plain-tex-mathematica "tex-mma" + "Major-mode for interaction with Mathematica from TeX." t) + (autoload 'latex-mathematica "tex-mma" + "Major-mode for interaction with Mathematica from TeX." t) + + 6. If you do not have David Jacobson's Mathematica mode package + `math.el', install it following the instructions in `math.el'. + If you do have `math.el', make sure your version is at least as + current as the one here, which contains changes necessary for use with + `tex-mma.el'. Make sure you place the file `math.el' (or, + better, the byte-compiled file `math.elc') where your Emacs looks + for libraries, so that `tex-mma.elc' will be able to load it if it + is not already loaded. + + 7. Edit `mathematica.tex' (at the end) to specify where the PostScript + prolog files `psfig.pro' and `mma.pro.1.2' will be, and put the + prolog files there. + + 8. If you are using a LaTeX *earlier* than 2 May 90, edit + `mathematica.sty' according to the comments there. + + 9. Put `mathematica.tex', `mathematica.sty', `mathematica12pt.tex', + `mathematica10pt.tex', `psfig.sty', and `psfig.tex' where your + TeX looks for macro files. + + 10. Put `PSTeX.m', `PSTeXpro.m' and `PSFile.m' where your + Mathematica looks for packages. + + 11. Edit `addBBoxpro' to specify which `awk' you use (default is GNU + awk, `gawk'). + + 12. Edit `tex-mma-assemble-package' to set the variables `bindir', `tmpdir' + and `tmpdirsed' for your system, as described in the comments there + and then place `tex-mma-assemble-package.tmplt' in `bindir'. + + 13. Put `addBBox', `addBBoxpro', `addBBoxpro.awk' and + `tex-mma-assemble-package' on your system's binary search path, make sure + they have execute status, and then execute `rehash'. + + +You should be ready to go: Startup emacs, run `M-x tex-mathematica' +and have fun. |
