Which English meaning are you trying to > capture? At first I am trying to capture usual mathematical meaning. For example if y=sin(x) then y "depends" on x. However, I doubt about {fancu} again since in its definition there is no explicit place for argument x: x1 is a function/single-valued mapping from domain x2 to range x3 defined by expression/rule x4 If I correctly understand x2 is not argument of function but range of its definition, i.e. for the case of sinus it should be {-Infinity, Infinity}. It is also not clear how to emphasize that there are several arguments in function. Than I would like to use the mathematical meaning of "depends" for common life. For example to say that "Character depends on education". __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
