Hi I havent tried this or anything,

But you might be using the wrong api or something, javas api

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/

shows a java.maths class, and not java.lang.maths I wonder if that could be your issue? You might not be including it properly.. just a thought.

EDIT -- Actually I just found java.lang.math sorry,

log(double a) -- Returns the natural logarithm (base e) of a double value.

You might find the problem lies with the flanagan thing or a syntax issue.... try a much simpler equation to see if the function actually works, then try tweaking your syntax in your existing equation. Sorry I cant be more help, but I have never used the maths bits

You cannot just say "import thisandthat";. where is the compiler supposed to find
the "thisandthat"? That's what the classpath variable is for. You pass the classpath
variable to the compiler and jvm itself telling them where they can expect to find
the classes you're talking about. Both javac and java take an option on the command
line as a classpath list of directories and .jar files.

kind regards,
