Calling Mathematica functions from Clojuratica
No matter what data we're working on with Mathematica, we'll want to call Mathematica functions from Clojure. The Clojuratica library makes this almost as easy as calling Clojure functions. Let's see how to do it.
Getting ready
You must first have Clojuratica and Mathematica talking to each other. Either complete the Setting up Mathematica to talk to Clojuratica for Mac OS X and Linux recipe or the Setting up Mathematica to talk to Clojuratica for Windows recipe. You'll need to have called the init-mma function.
Also, make sure that the Clojuratica namespace is imported into your script or REPL, as follows:
(use 'clojuratica)
How to do it…
In order to call a function, just use Mathematica's name for it with Clojure's function-calling syntax. For this example, we'll solve a nonlinear system of equations. In Mathematica, this will look as follows:
FindRoot[{Exp[x-2] == y, y^2 == x}, {{x, 1}, {y, 1}}].In Clojure, it will look similar to this:
