Hans,

Pure functions (anonymous functions) are useful for this sort of thing:

Two ways:

{#[[1]], Power[2 Pi #[[1]], 2] U/#[[2]]} & /@ thelist

{{1, 2*Pi^2*U}, {3, 9*Pi^2*U}}

{#1, Power[2 Pi #1, 2] U/#2} & @@@ thelist

{{1, 2*Pi^2*U}, {3, 9*Pi^2*U}}


A @@@ B   means   Apply[A, B, {1}] (new in version 4.0)
