I have four questions. 1)Why does Dimensions comand return 2 for x*Cos[y]? I need to check dimensions of quantities and this makes it dificult to do. 2)I have a complicated web of function definitions which I neglected to put explisit variabe dependencies. Can I add dependence on the lowest leval variables to the highest leval functions easily or do I have to do it each step of the way. Any reference to a carefull and clear discusion of variable dependent functions would also help. 3)Does Mathematica Know anything about map projections. I have a vector feild of the sky and I want to plot it in a certin projection. All I have been able to do so far is plot vectors on square euclidian space. 4)Sometimes when I plot these vector feilds I get an odd result. I get no arow heads on some vectors, and multiple heads on others. I haven't been able to figure out why it will do this or do it corectly. I seems random to me. Any help with any of these would be appreciated, Thank You -NAUM
