When I run the code it takes a hell lot of time. I do not know what mathematica is doing inside, actually I have another code in fortran that takes only a few minutes to do all the calculations but there are other problems like it dosent work for some parameter range. > > Is there a method in which I can ask mathematica to give me only the numerical values just like any executable program does. > > Thanks. > TaB Many analytical functions with in Mathematica have numerical counterparts for example Integrate[] has NIntegrate[]. You can use those to get numerical results. If your code is very slow this could have many reasons and without giving an example of what you are doing it will be hard to help you. Keep in mind that Mathematica is interpreted and not compiled Fortran code. I hope this helps. Manfred
