You can get a "Personal Edition" of Maple, with all features of the Professional Edition, for a better price. -- Gene From: Tomas Rokicki <rokicki@gmail.com> To: math-fun <math-fun@mailman.xmission.com>; Dan Asimov <dasimov@earthlink.net> Sent: Monday, December 26, 2016 11:02 AM Subject: Re: [math-fun] Capabilities of Mathematica "Home Edition" My understanding is you can't use it professionally. Other than that it is full Mathematica. I use this edition. On Dec 26, 2016 2:00 PM, "Dan Asimov" <dasimov@earthlink.net> wrote:
Mathematica has recently advertised a discount on their Home Edition. About $250 while the sale lasts.
Their website claims the Home Edition has
"All of the power of Mathematica for personal use"
. But it doesn't say specifically that there are no differences — or if there are differences, what those differences are.
This *might* be just a pricing difference, the way some academic journals charge institutional libraries like $1500 / year but a mere $300 / year for an individual. But if that's the case, why wouldn't they just say so instead of giving it a whole nother name?
Anyone know the answer to whether the Home Edition differs from the full Mathematica, and if so how?
