Thank you all very much for your help and advice. best wishes, Andrew >>> Janak Wedagedera <janak at maths.warwick.ac.uk> 08/07/03 09:18am >>> It is not clear whether you want to plot 1. y as a function of x with c as a parameter or 2. just a plot of the surface defined by c. Case 1: Solve[y^2 - y + x - x^2 -c ==0,y] and then use the solution for y to make the plot Case 2: c = (x - x^2) + (y - y^2); Plot3D[c, {x, 0, 1}, {y, 0, 1}] - Janak.
