Hello,

I'm looking for an easy way to remove the external parentheses from a list.  The list contains integration variables and their respective limits, it currently looks something like this:

{{x1,a,b},{x2,c,d},...,{xn,y,z}}

However, the Integrate (or NIntegrate function) in Mathematica wants me to write it like this:

{x1,a,b},{x2,c,d},...,{xn,y,z}
i.e. The external parentheses have been removed

I've looked around online and seen suggestions for replacing the curly brackets "{" with a blank space " ", or using Apply (@@) but can't work out the correct syntax.

Thanks for any help and advice!

Regards,
Sam
