In the last few days, I noticed the Pallette SE Uploader keeps giving a Java error each time I try to upload an image. I select a cell and click on Image button then choose upload image to Stackexchange Then get lots of Java errors Java::excptn: A Java exception occurred: de.halirutan.se.tools...

I stumbled upon Mathics3, a free and open-source clone of Mathematica. It seems to share most of the basic syntax/functions with Mathematica, though I assume some advanced features are not implemented. So far the Mathematica documentation was helpful for learning Mathics3. Can I ask about Mathics...

What's the difference between the tags api, apifunction, and interoperability? Do we need three distinct tags? Are there others that overlap some of these. Should some be merged? I assume apifunction is about APIFunction[] only, and perhaps does not have a fully justified existence. Still, someti...

As you can see in the image, I am not able to post my question to the site, it being flagged for "code that is not properly formatted", even though my question contains no code at all, just math. Full text of question follows. Help appreciated! I am attempting to follow this tutorial in the docu...

I am trying to ask a question. But it seems latex does not work properly and equations do not appear in correct format and also there are errors in my code and I can not submit my question. the latex format of equations is correct and my code also is working in mathematica. Please see below my qu...

I've just used the new LLMFunction (which will be part of 13.3) to answer a question here. I assumed this is ok since this is part of Mathematica (now as Paclet, but soon builtin) but wanted to make sure. Is it OK to use Wolfram LLMFunction in answering Mathematica questions on this forum? If th...

The site mandarins seem to believe the questioners should not be programmers (apparently, the Mathematica functional programming style is not programming to the mandarins), should not be Mathematica beginners, that they ask good clear short English fluent questions showing just the problem and th...

It seems to me that I have misunderstood mathematica.stackexchange.com's purposes. I understood two purposes: to teach and to learn. It seems to be a place for ignorant newcomers to Mathematica to demonstrate their limited knowledge of Mathematica and their limited programming experience and for ...

Please see this question In particular, refer to my deleted answer. Firstly, I regret my triggered response. I state extreme overwork and illness as a mitigating factor. This is not an excuse but a context. Secondly, I merely converted a complex analysis problem to a surface integral. The surface...

Working a problem on Mathematics Stack Exchange, in a comment fom @Maxim is given the expression that I am even unable to type properly with MathJax (I do not know why but a copy/paste does not produce the same result for the related Fox H function.

How to get the centroid of a geographical region? (or: the center of mass of Croatia is in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but where exactly?) was closed as duplicate. It is not. The alleged duplicate is doing the computation on a map (2D) surface. This question is about doing the computation of the eart...

As I said in Fitting an exponential system: "Sometimes, a negative result (i.e., can not be fast or done at all) [needs to given] as the problem is constructed." (I editted my own sentence.) These problems resemble: Fast method is needed for factoring a positive integer that Mathematica's PrimeQ...

I have just put a bounty on the question Floor function not returning correct value I wrote there The existing answer is not satisfactory, as explained in a comment. I find this issue important. There is no satisfactory answer. After that I realized that if there will be no reaction, the bounty ...

After I upload a question, then some user (mostly high-level user) edit my question. But many times I don't see any difference. I wonder what they edited and why they edit it. I don't have the slightest hostility in my question, I'm just asking out of curiosity.

The original post can be found here: Get WolframAlpha to treat all symbols as variables There is a tag specifically for WolframAlpha called wolfram-alpha-queries. If this doesn't belong here, to what StackExchange do I submit WorlfamAlpha questions?

There was a question about how to draw this form of straight line x==ty+n, and a friend answered three different drawing methods. I'd like to see again that I haven't seen the post now.

I was wondering why I copy the code from my this answer to MMA didn't work. I had to paste it into notepad++ first and then copy it into MMA, then the code to work properly. Have I made some unknown mistake?

As we say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new one, we have a tradition of sharing moderation stats for the preceding calendar year. As most of you here are aware, sites on the Stack Exchange network are moderated somewhat differently to other sites on the web: We designed the Stack Exch...

I am referring to this one how to compute the 2,1 chebyshev rational approximant. The question lacks absolutely nothing, it seems long because it requires some passages that i have solved and posted so that the users had all the elements to understand the last tricky point. Daniel who knew the ...

Context: Informal ban already effective Meta Stackoverflow and Meta Stackexchange has already been discussing a (temporary?) ban of answers crafted with ChatGPT (SO 421831, SE 384396). Answers identified as have been already being deleted by moderators. Example CatGPT answers deleted 27...

I have been away for a while, so I preface this question with an apology if it is trivial. In answering there used to be an add on/tool to that would allow Wolfram reference hyperlinks, automate Wolfram symbols.This added to standard editing menu. I have changed systems and cannot find how to imp...

Devendra Kapadia and I are looking forward to hosting the “Q&A with Calculus & Algebra Developers" tomorrow (Wednesday) at 11:00 CT. This follows the "What's new in Calculus & Algebra" from this past August. For ways to participate please visit the Wolfram Community post announcing the Wolfram R&...

Concerning answers TL;DR : It would be interesting to have a template/format/guidelines for presenting lengthy answers. From my tiny database of answers I have read, my impression is that the answers at the top tend to be those that have the least amount of code or text. This is not true for some...

I imagine that this has been asked already but searching here on meta and on google I could not find the deep reasons to why someone votes to close a question. The stack exchange information on vote closing explains the how and what but not exactly the why. Sure when closing there is a list to ch...

Is it possible to append a file to a question on https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/ask

I remember the new mathematica.meta posts used to appear in right side of the main site, but now it's not the case: ↑ Who cares about this? This makes the mathematica.meta site deserted. Can the old layout be brought back?

Recently I voted to close this question because it's about programming in python and I think it's clearly off-topic in this site. But OP of the question just showed me something funny: this question, which looks on-topic for stackoverlow in my view, is closed there, and according to the timeline,...

Huge with Wolfram seems to be including user-friendlier (more than just user-friendly) conveniences for what appears to be a large majority of its native symbols by permitting them, where possible, to be entered in several alternative notation forms. For example, many functions can be accessed wi...

I am not sure how Mathematica functions are highlighted here but as Stack Exchange is somehow capable of detecting which functions are in the documentation, is it also possible to transform those functions to hyperlinks so that one could click on them to see the documentation ? Or better, a Javas...

This seems like such a stupid question. Ugh! but I suddenly cant -- not even to save my own life -- find the list of questions I bookmarked in the past. I bookmarked them by clicking the star below the vote up/down buttons. Would someone please remind me where I can access my list of bookmarked...

On the Help center > Asking > What topics can I ask about here? one can read Mathematica Stack Exchange is for users of the software Mathematica developed by Wolfram Research, as well as related products like gridMathematica, Wolfram Workbench, Player (Pro), and the CDF Player. If you have a que...

Frequently I want to search for information on MMA.SE about symbols that are referred to by their full context. An example is System`Private`ArgumentsWithRules. But, searching for System`Private`ArgumentsWithRules using the SE search bar yields no hits, despite this answer clearly having that. I...

In a rare virtual event, Wolfram R&D developers (some are old-timers, who also are members of this community) will go live for Q&A session about one of the most popular topics Visualization and Graphics. You know something is in demand if it has a tag like THIS. We are trying to gather important ...

I find it a pity that here is no opportunity to honor the great work of others, which has invested effort and time in someone else's business. It would be nice if a function could be installed here with which you can quickly give a “tip” (a gratuity) e.g. via PayPal. For example, a simple “buy me...

I want to ask a question that concerns a moderately simple but long code. I think that it, placed all inside the question itself, would clutter the message and make the post quite unreadable. How can I attach a .zip file, containing a notebook and some packages, to the question ? Does the procedu...

Is there any way to dsolve the following ode (T^\[Prime]\[Prime])[t] - (5 (E^(-t \[Alpha])) \[Alpha] )/( 2 (-1 + E^(-t \[Alpha]))) Derivative[1][T][ t] + ((5 (-10 + 3 E^(t \[Alpha])) \[Alpha]^2)/( 9 (-1 + E^(t \[Alpha]))^2) + ( E^(2 t \[Alpha]) (-1 + E^(-t \[Alpha]))^( ...

Today I changed a tag from error-tracking to warning-messages (née error-messages, error). Then I did some looking into them. Neither [error-tracking] or warning-messages have tag wikis and both are fairly old. There are rather few questions tagged error-tracking (about 85). A good number (pr...

It seems that closed questions can still be edited, which is kind of annoying since edits make questions pop up in my view as active. The most egregious example I've come across is An extension to the real number line. Can closed questions be made uneditable? Or can they be made to not appear as ...

I've searched in many FAQ and How-To articles about Community Wiki and none of the them prominently show a link of where to find the actual site. I've even tried searching directly within google which only resulted in links back to same help articles. Please help me find it.

The offence There seem to be a significant amount of new people posting code that looks like this (please edit this question and replace this line if you know how to technically describe this form of code) a = (E^(-2 Abs[\[Gamma] - z Cos[\[Theta]]]^2) \!\( \*UnderoverscriptBox[\(\[Sum]\), \(j =...

I note this question is going to close by the Mathematic question(not a Mathematica). I think it is a function of Mathematica to try or practice with MMA when learning Mathematic. We can't simply categorize this need as a purely mathematical problem and then ask to close it. In this post, we can ...

I've used to use http://steampiano.net/msc/ to convert tGreek Mathematica symbols when pasting here so they are readable. Now it is gone. See posting-equations-with-subscripts-and-greek-symbols for example. Is there a different site to use now? How else to do this conversion now?

I just downloaded the new Microsoft Edge - Version 100.0.1185.50 (Official build) (64-bit).

I also cannot expand any of Scope, Generalizations & Extensions, Applications, Properties & Re...

There are some users who never accept any answers no matter how good the replies are. I am sure you all know that and it's not difficult to compile a list based on previous behaviors. What's even worse is that in many cases more than alternatives are offered as FULLY fledged answers to an OP and ...

The question Background removal with hair, in my opinion, is unanswerable. Most image processing questions seem to result in finicky, specialized code. Moreover, image processing questions seem to be less likely to be flagged as duplicates since it's harder to claim a particular task is effecti...
