Hello,

what do you expect, when you replace q by a List of a list of Rules as in
r[q] /. q -> {{Britannia \[Rule] theWaves}}?

Or when calling r with a list of list of rules as parameter an applying 
the list of rules to the result?


Try r[q]/.qa etc., but I would prefer

qa=First[q/.Solve[r'[q]==c'[q]]] and
qm=First@Select[q/.Solve[c[q]==q*c'[q]],#>0&].

Then you can evaluate r[qa], c'[qm] etc directly.

Peter
