MathGroup is a suitable place fo many subject (talking about Mathematica and its use in mathematics, physics, mechanics and other sciences; for discussion of various issues of CASs and other interesting things BUT certainly it is not the place that someone will find the solutions to his/her homework without showing us some of his attempts! I think Jean-Marc was too kind to you and give you more hints that actually he should have given to you! Greetings from Greece, Dimitris S.
