Re: An other problem

[Yann Lamontagne a.k.a. daume]

Maybe it was the initial condition since I know I have the right formula
from http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/%7Epbourke/fractals/lorenz/ and a text
book.  But the now with the same way to write the equation(not same
formula) and your initial condition I get nice results.

thanks
