Hello Konrad, Mathematica 4.1.1, Windows: In[5]:= <<Calculus`VectorAnalysis` In[6]:= f[x_,y_]:=x+y Grad[f[a,b]] Out[6]= {0,0,0} I learnt that packages sometimes do not get loaded properly if they are not called from a separate cell.

Februar 2003 10:52 An: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Betreff: [mg39372] Problems evaluating Grad I'd like to detrmine Grad to a function so i go: <<Calculus`VectorAnalysis` f[x_,y_]:=x+y Grad[f[a,b]] I get no errors, but the answer is simply the same thing that i asked, as if no computation was done. What do i do wrong? Also - when i evaluated the examples in Help i got the same behavior. The answer that already is there gets exchanged to something else upon my evaluation. Namely, the question itself. What is that?! -- Vnligen Konrad --------------------------------------------------- phone #1: (+46/0) 708 - 70 73 92 phone #2: (+46/0) 704 - 79 96 95 url: http://konrads.webbsida.com e-mail: chamsterkonrad at bigfoot.com ----------------------------------- Sleep - thing used by ineffective people as a substitute for coffee Ambition - a poor excuse for not having enough sence to be lazy ---------------------------------------------------
