I had a similar problem; the kernel did not shut down but the definition of f was earsed. The following, however, seems to work alright: f[w_] = Together[1./(w^2) + (.9/30.)/(w - 2. Sqrt[200./10.]k)^2 - 1. - (3./30.)/(Sqrt[200./10.]k^2)]; Solve[Numerator[f[w]] == 0, w] Reza Malek-Madani Department of Mathematics Phone:410-293-2504 (FAX -2507) 589 McNair Road DSN: 281-2504 U.S. Naval Academy Nimitz Room 17 in ERC Annapolis MD 21402-5031 Email: research at usna.edu -------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Sat, 21 Oct 2000, Chris Johnson wrote: > I had the same problem.
