Can you describe your complete problem ? Nothing seems to be wrong with the syntax except square braces around your expression. Square braces f[...] are used to define arguments to a function. Eg: In[15]:= Simplify[((x-a)/A)^2+((y-b)/B)^2-2*r*(x-a)*(y-b)/(A*B)] Out[15]= (a-x)^2/A^2-(2 r (a-x) (b-y))/(A B)+(b-y)^2/B^2 In[14]:= ((x-a)/A)^2+((y-b)/B)^2-2*r*(x-a)*(y-b)/(A*B) Out[14]= (-a+x)^2/A^2-(2 r (-a+x) (-b+y))/(A B)+(-b+y)^2/B^2 Vivek J.
