Hi, lets call your polynomes hH[] and Clear[hH]; MapIndexed[ SetDelayed[Evaluate[hH[x_, First[#2] - 1]], #1] &, {1, -x, -1 + x^2, -x(-3 + x^2)}] will do what you want. hH[z,3] gives -z(-3 + z^2) Regards Jens Mark Morrissey wrote: > > Hi Folks - I have an alternative form of the set Hermite polynomials I'd > like to use.
