This happens whene you are using two simbols that have very similar names (as in your case). Tipically if you run two times the same command the "error" disappears. > NDSolve::"ndnum": > "The right-hand side of the differential equation does not evaluate to > a \ > number at r == 0.`. > This is not clear and i think this is the true error. I see you are using the package NDSolve. Maybe the differential equation you are studing have a singuarity in r=0 (galaxies? sometimes ago i was studying accretion disks! :) If its not too complex post more details in the newsgroup. I think this problem can interest a lot of people. PS. Have you tried with DSolve? Bye Nicola ----- Nicola Attico (attico at cibs.sns.it)
