I've used Solve below, but I had to do a couple of steps manually, first. Erfc[L/(4*(Dg*t)^(1/2))] == 9/10; %[[1,1]] == InverseErfc[Last[%]]; (#1^(-2) & ) /@ %; Solve[%, t]; f[L_, Dg_] = t /. First[%] L^2/(16*Dg*InverseErf[Infinity, -(9/10)]^2) Plot[f[ell, 5*10^5], {ell, -10, 10}]; I wonder why Solve can't deal with the original equation?

Dg=5*10^5 I want to plot t as a function of L. thanks. aude
