Hello,
I am a beginner in Mathematica and I have a rather simple question. I
made some calculations that I need for an orbit and I have a list that
look like this:
mylist1 = {{a1,b1,c1,d1},{a2,b2,c2,d2},{a3,b3,c3,d3},etc}
All I want to do is to make a list of the form
mylist2 = {{a1,b1},{a2,b2},{a3,b3},etc}
from the original list (mylist1),
so that I can ListPlot those pairs of points (they represent x and y
coordinates for some orbit). I am having trouble figuring out how to do
this. I tried using the Table command but I couldn't get it into the
above form. I would greatly appreciate if someone can help me out.
Thanks so much.
Best,
Serge
