21:12 <JohnFlux_> How do I get a numerical solution please?
21:12 <JohnFlux_> how do i find, say, sqrt(65)
21:20 <Prax01D> Uh, sqrt(65),numer; ?
21:23 <JohnFlux_> ah, numer
21:23 <JohnFlux_> thanks :-)
22:00 <JohnFlux_> Prax01D: sorry I still can't quite get the hang of this..    if I have   sqrt(x)    how do I find the numerical value when x=3 say ?
22:00 <JohnFlux_> Prax01D: and thanks for the help :-)
22:01 <JohnFlux_> hmm
22:01 <JohnFlux_> sqrt(x),x=4,numer  works
22:02 <JohnFlux_> ah but  sqrt(y=x),x=4,numer   doesn't
23:41 <Prax01D> not the guy to ask, sorry.
