Kaustubh: Try this: a /. Last[Solve[Sin[a] == 0.4717 * Sin[(Pi/3) - a], a]] Best, Harvey Harvey P.

Here is what I wrote Solve[Sin[a]==0.4717 * Sin[(Pi/3)-a],a]; Last[a /. %] The problem is that the value in '%' is not the output of Solve, but the whatever operation came before that! Any help on how to extract the last numerical from solve will be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot, Kaustubh __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
