Hi Ruth,
You can use the undocumented form of the pure function which can take any
number of arguments:
Function[Null, body[##]].
(note the SlotSequence (##)).You will have to re-name the variable of the
internal pure function though, from slot to a named var, to avoid name
collision with the slot variables ## of the external Function:
In[1] =
mypureint =
Function[Null, Function[limit, Integrate[z*Efun[##], {z, 0, limit}]] /@
{1, 2, 3}];
In[2] = mypureint[1]
Out[2] = {1/2, 2, 9/2}
In[3] = mypureint[1, 2]
Out[3] = {5/2, 10, 45/2}
Regards,
Leonid
