[comp.sys.amiga] Maple is there an edu. discount?

rg20+@andrew.cmu.edu (Rick Francis Golembiewski) (10/02/90)

I've been using maple on the workstations here at CMU, and it would be
very nice to have it for my A3000, but the list price is pretty steep
($350 I believe) for most students (including me) to afford.  So is
there any kind of student discount so that I could possibly afford it?

The price of US$395 is their education discount price, and honestly for the size and
power of this piece of software, I think that the price is within reason.  The price
is the cheapest it is for any machine.  If you think that it is only about %12 the cost
of your A3000, that isn't really too bad (assuming that you have an application for it).

I'm not sure about an educational discount, but $350 for maple is a great
deal.  I priced maple for our Sun4 sometime last year, and the price is a
steep CDN$2995.
