Though more limited in power than the other systems on this list, it may, nevertheless prove to be worthwhile for some small computations. Its capabilities include integration (through pattern matching), solution of trigonometric identities and a simple solve package. It is available through: The Soft Warehouse P. O. Box 11174 Honolulu, Hawaii 96828 REDUCE REDUCE is one of the more widely available Computer Algebra systems: there are versions for IBM, UNIVAC, CDC and Burroughs mainframes, DEC 10, DEC 20, VAX (both UNIX and VMS), HP-9836, Appollo and others. It is available through: Dr. Anthony C. Hearn The Rand Corporation 1700 Main Street Santa Monica, CA 90402 Note, though, that a compatible version of Lisp will also have to be obtained: though chances are that you will have to contact the University of Utah, please contact Dr. Hearn first with information regarding your machine. MAPLE is a package developed at the University of Waterloo (of WatFIV fame) and is still under development. It is available from: Symbolic Computation Group Dept. of Computer Science University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario N2L 3G1 Attention: B. L. Leong Regarding your other question, I cannot really help you: some systems, in some packages, have a flag which will output intermediate results: off-hand I recall the power- series package in MACSYMA and the factoring and integration packages in REDUCE which also provide quite readable output in trace mode. Other than that, I don't know. Hope this information is useful, Michael Rothstein (rothstei@kentvax) ------- End of Forwarded Message
