There's also MuPad, kind of a parallelized Maple, but with less algorithms implemented (all the graphics fun is there, though). It's free for non-commercial use and runs on Linux (with or without X), among other things. Some of the documentation is only available in german. It's on ftp.uni-paderborn.de in /pub/unix/MuPad or /pub/MuPad I believe. They make you fill out a license form first. -- Axel Boldt * boldt@math.ucsb.edu * http://math-www.uni-paderborn.de/~axel/
