I know have to obtain the sum of all of the elements in each of the lists by using Apply[Plus,f] and from it, I can use the Part function or "[[]]" method of obtaining each result as needed. asum=Apply[Plus,f][[1]] bsum=Apply[Plus,f][[2]] What I further need are methods to: (1) obtain separate lists, call them a and b which contain just the 1st and 2nd elements of each sublist respectively (2) then after further, if eny modification of either list's data (a copletely separate issue), I need to know the method of how to merge them, and replace the original data. I know how to apply Rule's to transform data on a list of single elements, but not for "larger" lists. Consider this code: f={{0,1},{7,1},{12,2}} rd={1->1/4,2=1/2} How can I apply the rd "rule" (or any Rule) to just the second elements' 2nd values in the f list? And more importantly how are such things done generically? And someone please define distinct differences between: (1) list (2) sequence (2) vector (2) array (3) matrix/table I'm using Mathemata Version 7, but am only a "hobbies" at it.
