Hi all, I cannot view the newsgroup as I am stuck behind a firewall here, but if you could email me any help with this, it would be much appreciated. I am new to using mathematica (currently I have version 4.1, should be getting a trial copy of version 5 soon, my os is winNT). I have been attempting to do some programming and need to automate a calculation, to be done far too many times to attempt it manually. A previous calculation outputs a sum of fractions in terms of z, all are of the form gz^h/(az^b+cz^d+ez^f). I need to do a calculation involving the numbers a-h. I would like to be able to input the fraction, automatically assign the correct numbers from it to the variables a-h, then do the calculation and output the result. Ideally, if I could input the sum of all the fractions directly as output from the previous calculation and do this for each one, then output an answer which is the sum of the results for each fraction that would be best. I have found my way around programming in basic functions, but am unsure as to how to input a standard form of equation and automatically assign the values to the variables for calculation. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Laura Pickard. "This e-mail is intended for the recipient only.
