Hi Nasser, Graphical control of plotting and debugging are things that one adapts to, in my opinion. I'd prefer to fit into the Mathematica ways of doing such things rather than foist another system's paradigms onto it. (Regarding plotting, I'd rather have my plots come out the right size whenever I run the code to generate the figure.) But I do think that the gaps in the mathematics *are* serious impediments to certain types of users. Of course, WRI is free to not target those people if they like. And the programmers behind Mathematica are obviously spending their time very well and very wisely, so it's hard to know where they'd get the resources to add functionality in engineering fields. It's just a pity for those of us who are engineers and who also like Mathematica :) Cheers, Will
