	Excuse me for asking for information that has probably been dealt
with earlier but I am new to USENET. I am interesting in obtaining one or
more packages tht solve equations (differential equations, systems of linear
equations etc.) - what packages are available? is a hard disk required? how
flexible are they? what is their cost?

	I would appreciate receiving comments that individuals may have
(good and/or bad) directly through e-mail and if sufficient interest exists
I will follow-up with a summary.

	By the way, is it possible to specify an equation and have one of
these packages give the normal equations (i.e. least-squares) for one or
more parameters in the original equation ?

	Many thanks in advance.
