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.
