Rugb;
I tried this with Mtca3.0 in WinNT 4.0, and it objected to enclosing the
trig functions in square brackets (syntax error? I forget exactly) . So i
removed the [] around Sin and Cos, and it worked fine:
f[x_]:=N[Pi^(Sin[2 x]-Cos[x^2])];
dummyData=Table[{x,f[x]},{x,-5,5,0.5}];
ListPlot[dummyData,PlotStyle\[Rule]PointSize[0.02]];
-mark
