Hello all! Does there exist a reasonably inexpensive symbolic manipulator for ugly math equations out there? Currently I cannot afford the $800 or so that they want for 386 Mathematica... I have a DOS based 386 with a VGA card. I need something that can solve some of the incredibly ugly equations that I keep having to deal with, but won't clobber my dwindling bank account. Thanks! tim@nwnexus.wa.com No cute signature for me, sorry.

I think I have also seen a program called Derive, from a company called SoftWarehouse. Check the Computers in Physics magazines, or recent issues of Byte and PC Mag. I know I saw a review, and they claim to do most of what mathmatica does, and it is worth looking into. blake@happy.cc.utexas.edu freeburg@physics.utexas.edu :wq A
