Hi,
I am trying to solve the following double integral equation in Mathcad (Equation 17 extracted from tech paper).
I get an "a name is required here" error when using the d(sin(q)2) i.e "d sine squared" in the differential. Can I use this d(sin(q)2)? Is there a trick to getting the syntax correct? Many Thanks Ross
Solved! Go to Solution.

I guess we can consider the question as answered.
The same question was asked a second time, but with an attachment -> https://community.ptc.com/t5/PTC-Mathcad/Double-Integration-error-with-sin-squared-differential/td-p/661132/jump-to/first-unread-message
Hi,
Mathcad is telling you it needs the name of a function.
set a function name before differentiation. sin_f(theta):=sin(theta)^2
use this name in the differentiation.
It helps if you attach the file to the post.
Cheers

Unfortunately no.
Mathcad does not support functions here, just variables.
So you have to manually evaluate the differential yourself d(sin(q)^2)=2*sin(q)*cos(q) dq and use this instead.

Vladimir, Werner,
Apologies for omitting the attachment in the first post.Thank you for your efforts. I now have my calculation sheet working😀. Regards Ross
