Second, the following threads should help you started to solve integral equation with Mathematica. "Does anybody?" (very poor, meaningless title, indeed; however the subject is really about solving integral equations). Check especially Paul Abbott's reply, which contains a notebook. http://groups.google.com/group/comp.soft-sys.math.mathematica/browse_thread/thread/72233d95dbcc4603/3773d64d0b1d3d82?lnk=gst&q=integral+equation&rnum=6#3773d64d0b1d3d82 "NDSolve with integral equation" http://groups.google.com/group/comp.soft-sys.math.mathematica/browse_thread/thread/f70c1b8219428193/42814c84e2fb26d5?lnk=gst&q=integral+equation&rnum=4#42814c84e2fb26d5 "how to solve integral equation" http://groups.google.com/group/comp.soft-sys.math.mathematica/browse_thread/thread/9d12644a49a34ab9/1d61d053920b8c30?lnk=gst&q=integral+equation&rnum=9#1d61d053920b8c30 Regards, Jean-Marc
