Your question is ambiguous: 1. Are you using regular math notation, or Mathematica notation? It appears you are using both, which makes it difficult to decipher the meaning of (), [], B_J. 2. Did you mean to say B_J[x]=... ? 3. Is J a known constant, or an unknown to be obtained from the fit? Themis > First I have to apologize if this is too basic for > this forum...
