I have a Mathematica script containing the following line: v[k_] := SetAccuracy(2*(Part[Q1[[k]],1]),45] where Q1 is a 96 x 96 matrix. Is Part[Q1[[k]],1] the same as Q1[k,1]? If not, what is it returning? Any help appreciated. Hi, Fred, It is easy to see what is it by generating a simple example. Let us define a small matrix as follows: Q[k_] := {{k + 1, k - 1}, {k^2, 1/k}} You can have a look at it. Evaluate this: Q[k] // MatrixForm. Now the expression you are asking about is: Part[Q[k], 1] Evaluate it! The result is below: {1 + k, -1 + k} Thus, it returns the first line of the matrix.
