I've looked old messages but i don't find a clear answer. What's the best way (simple, general and without dummy functions) to define in mathematica 4.2 a differential operator? For example, how can I evaluate laplacian operator in spherical coordinates ? (without using ad-hoc packages... i want to enter expression of d/dx, d/dy, d/dz and mathematica must compute (d/dx)^2+(d/dy)^2+(d/dz)^2) How can i evaluate powers,product etc... of operators ? Help me, thanks Paolo Zavarise
