Thanks to all who responded to my request for information on software for
the SE that would help a high school student learn math.  Here is a summary.

Calculus, and Geometry, marketed by Broderbund, (800) 521-6263,
   $99.95 list ea. (targeted for high school students)

Mathematica from Wolfram Research, (800) 441-6284, $495
   (the high-end package, more than a student would require)

MatLab from MathWorks, Inc., (508) 683-1415

Milo from Paracomp, (415) 543-3848, $250
   (I am expecting literature in the mail and will forward it to you.)

MathCAD, Addison-Wesley Publishing Co., $40 list

A professor at Illinois is developing a calculus textbook for use
with the math package Mathematica.

See MacUser, March 89, and MacWorld, December 1988, for reviews on math
software.
