Greetings MathGroupers,
I recently set about writing, for my own amusement, a package that would
convert simple TeX strings to Mathematica expressions. It turned out
that I was able to do much more than I initially imagined. For example,
each of the following are correctly interpreted:
"\matrix{ 2 & -1& 0 & \cdots & 0\\cr
-1 & 2 & -1 &~ & 0\cr
~&\ddots&\ddots &\ddots &~\cr
0 &~& -1 & 2 & -1 \cr
0 & \cdots & 0 & -1 & 2 \cr}"
"\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4a c}}{2a}"
"\int_0^\pi\sin^3\theta d\theta"
If you're interested, you can download the package and a demo
notebook here: http://www.math.armstrong.edu/faculty/hollis/TeX2Mma.zip.
All (positive) comments will be appreciated. :^)
