- I got MATHCAD for Windows through the same program. I am very happy
- with it. From what I hear, it is easier to use as Mathematica, and it
- doesn't require a co-processor. (Trust me, because I don't have one.)
- Mathematica is more demanding in memory, and somewhat more cryptic.
-
- Editing Equations is Easy with MathCad, and it does some cool symbolic
- stuff. It isn't as powerful as Mathematica, but I think it's a good deal at
- $99.
