- ok, assume i am computer literate and math literate and I am a late
- comer to symbolic math packages. is there a consensus of opinion as to
- which package i should buy: mathematica, maple, axiom (i just saw a book
- in the bookstore for Axiom -- is it a viable contender?) and if
- mathematica is the best, which book should I buy.
- thanks
- patrick
