[net.ai] Wanted: MACSYMA info

Hi,

I have a friend in the nuclear eng. department who is currently working on
a problem in - I can't remember right now but that's not the point - anyway,
this problem involves the analytic solution of a rather complex integral
(I believe it's called Chen's (sp?) integral).  A while back I heard something
about a group of programs called MACSYMA that were able to solve integrals that
were previously unsolvable.  I suggested that he may want to look into the
availabiliy of MACSYMA.  I would appreciate any information about these
programs - what they can and can't do, how they are used, how to purchase
(preferably with a university discount) , etc.

Thanks in advance,
