Hello everyone, I'm a relatively new user of Mathematica. I've got a problem with a nested function that won't evaluate when supplied with numbers. It looks something like this: MU is a function nested within another function P. MU[C_] = C^g, where 0<g<1 (g=.25 in my notebook) and P[z_, Cs_, C0_] = z (MU[Cs]/MU[C0]) When I try to evaluate P[.5, 120, 90] I get the same input returned, that is, P[.5, 120, 90], rather than the value of the function P evaluate at its arguments. What am I doing wrong? Regards, Greg Gregory Lypny Associate Professor John Molson School of Business Concordia University ___________________ "Better for us if you don't understand."
