Especially when Mathematica isn't reckoned to be all that good in some important respects, to its competitors. It's worth pointing out that the obvious competitors (Maple, Macsyma, Axiom) aren't free software in any sense of the word, but they are technically superior, and they are quite likely to be supported on free operating systems, should there be a demand for them. Personally, I use the free calc, which works within GNU Emacs. -- Bruce Institute of Advanced Scientific Computation bruce@liverpool.ac.uk University of Liverpool
