Hey, I'm trying to find how to perform operations with a variable treated as a symbol. For, an extremely simple, example I want to integrate a*x with respect to x and I want to find the indefinite integral of this, (a*x^2/2), or the definite integral with some interval for x.
Another example of such a use would be to create a function y<-function(x) {a*x} and by typig y(2) I would get the result 2*a Is there a way to treat variables as merely "symbols"? Any help much appreciated -M [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
