Greetings from Mexico City,

We are a pair of students of chemistry doing some exercises on chaotic systems.
So we are not too keen on math as a mathematician would be.

We programmed this system and get this error:
"Differential Equation does not evaluate as a number at t=1" Tried with 
different values of t with no success:

The system we programmed is as follows:

NDSolve[ {q1'[t] == p1[t],
          q2'[t] == p2[t],
          p1'[t] == ((1-f) q1[t])/((1 - q2[t]) ^ 2  + (q1[t]) ^ 2 ) ^ 0.5,
          p2'[t] == (1-f) - q2[t] - ((1-f) (1-q2[t]))/((1-q2[t]) ^ 2 + (q1[t]) ^ 2) ^ 0.5 ,
	  q1 [1] == q2[1] == p1[1] == 1, p2[1] == 2},
         {p1, q1, p2, q2}, {t, 1, 20}, MaxSteps->3000 ]

And we dont know what is wrong on it... I hope any one of you can guide/help
us in our quest of solving this system.

Thanks a lot in advance.
