I'd sure like to find out how to clean up a process I do a lot. Namely, get a solution to some set of equations and then plot the result. For example, I recently did result = Solve[{a == 1/(1/r2 + 1/50), 50 == 1/(1/(a + r1) + 1/r2)}, r1, a] This gives {{r1 -> (a function of r2) }} Then, I plot it by Plot[ (this function of r2), {r2, startvalue, stopvalue}] where I carefully type in this function. I feel sure you Mathematica pros don't have to do that so I have made several feeble attempts to automate this over the years. They fail because I still don't have a clue how Mathematica works. Here's my last attempt: Plot[ result /. %] Mathematica just hisses and prints out tons of error messages, none of which mean a thing to me. Surely there is a way to get this plot without having to type the Solve[] result into Plot[]. Any hints would be appreciated, as usual. Rob
