Hi Mathgroup,
I was trying to Plot:
Plot[ {V[x], Phi[x] /. min}, {x,-5,5} ]
where min was a set of rules:
min = {a->.5, b->.005}
Mathematica was literally trying to plot "Phi /. min", which of course
is meaningless.
Thumbing through a book I have, I stumbled across the Release command.
This did work:
Plot[ Release[{V[x], Phi[x] /. min}], {x,-5,5}]
I couldn't quite understand the explanation why Release is necessary.
Even though my problem is solved, can someone explain precisely why
Release is necessary here and what it does?
Thanks!
Peter
