Hi Alice! First use Flatten to remove de outer set of curly brackets, and at the same time give your solutin a name. sol=DSolve[{P'[t]==0.031P[t], P[0]==5.3}, P[t],t]//Flatten now define a function f[t_]=sol[[1,2]] Now you can evaluate, plot, or do whatever you want with f[t] Saludos, Sergio Terrazas Juarez, Mexico At 04:23 AM 1/28/99 -0500, you wrote: >Hi, I was given this address by a colleague, who said you could quickly >answer what I think is a very simple question.
