I have used muMath on an MSDOS machine.  It was about as powerful as Macsyma
and somewhat faster (Macsyma was running on a VAX-750)  The only problem
was that muMath doesn't have as many functions as Macsyma.  But, it is easy
to write your own in the accompanying language muSimp.  There are tutorials  
on the disk.  And there is a small but useful newsletter that publishes new
functions that are developed by the users.  Eventually many of these find there
way into the purchased package.


The package is distributed by Microsoft.  But it originated with, and the
newsletter is published by,  The Soft Warehouse, P.O. Box 11174, Honolulu,   
Hawaii 96828, USA.   
I recommend you write to them for info if you are interested.  It's a nice
package.  It is also useful if your are interested in the inner workings because
all the functions are written in muSimp.
