Hi, the parentheses from the Piecewise[] function look a bit strange ... do you mean that ? Regards Jens "John Roberts" <jlr-d at jlr-d.cnc.net> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:ddh9el$cep$1 at smc.vnet.net... | Mathematica 5.1 produced an output that I have never seen before from | Mathematica - it was an algebraic expression that contained a different | style of parentheses (I can't include the parentheses here because my | email does not have the font for it) The parentheses are unlike any that | I have seen before - they are like the regular parentheses (tall-style | parentheses that are straight in the middle and curved at the top and | bottom) that Mathematica uses in algebraic expressions, except the | straight middle part of the parentheses is heavier/bolder than the | curved parts at the top and bottom. | | I presume that this type of parentheses has a special meaning, but I | can't find anything about it in the help browser or Mathematica book. If | this type of parentheses has a special meaning, can someone tell me what | it means? | | Thanks in advance, | | John |
