You will have a lot more success if you use valid Mathematica
syntax and spend some time reading the documentation. All
built-in Mathematica functions start with an upper case letter
and function arguments should be surrounded by square brackets,
"[" and "]" not "(" and ")". That is
In[34]:= 367*y + Floor[7*(y + Floor [(m + 9)/12])/4] +
IntegerPart [275*m/9] + da + 1721013.5 /. {y -> 2010, m -> 4,
da -> 15}
Out[34]= 2.46234*10^6
