description: Hi all! First off I feel I should apologize for being so ignorant. My professor handed me the IDL package and told me to just write a program for our research. I haven't ever programmed before and have been unable to find one thing I need in the manual, the FAQ, or on a web page... I am wanting to use IDL to solve a transcendental equation. All the values are defined except one variable, which cannot be isolated (at least not with the math I've had). Is there some magical way that I can have IDL solve for this variable? I can set an expression that includes the value equal to an integer, if that would help. I'm really at a loss. I'm sorry if I've asked something that's been covered before, but I didn't really know what I was looking for and dejanews couldn't help me! Private e-mail is welcome and much appreciated. Thanks in advance for you assistance! -Brent Ragar bragar@comp.uark.edu http://comp.uark.edu/~bragar
