- I do not know if this willl be of direct applicability to you, but there
- is a comparative review of Mathematica, Maple, and several other symbolic
- packages running on a PC platform in the latest PC Magazine (August I
- believe). As to the rigor and extent of the testing, I do not really know.
- The description of their testing seemed a little sketchy to me, except where
- there were specific failings of a program. To very briefly summarize though
- they recommended Maple and Mathematica for heavy duty symbolic duty and s
- MathCad for light duty.
