Use Sequence limits = {{x1, a, b}, {x2, c, d}, {xn, y, z}}; Integrate[f[x1, x2, xn], Sequence @@ limits] Integrate[f[x1, x2, xn], {x1, a, b}, {x2, c, d}, {xn, y, z}] However, Mathematica only accepts this form because Integrate does not have the Attribute HoldAll or HoldRest. Attributes[Integrate] {Protected, ReadProtected} For functions that have either of these attributes, you would also need to use Evaluate. Attributes[Table] {HoldAll, Protected} limits = {{x1, 0, 1}, {x2, 0, 1}, {xn, 0, 1}}; Table[f[x1, x2, xn], Evaluate[Sequence @@ limits]] // Flatten {f[0, 0, 0], f[0, 0, 1], f[0, 1, 0], f[0, 1, 1], f[1, 0, 0], f[1, 0, 1], f[1, 1, 0], f[1, 1, 1]} Bob Hanlon On Fri, Aug 16, 2013 at 7:06 AM, Samuel Mark Young <sy81 at sussex.ac.uk>wrote: > > Hello, > > I'm looking for an easy way to remove the external parentheses from a > list.
