[math-fun] Now they tell me: Mathematica for $295
I wish I had known about this before I shelled out big bucks. But maybe others can benefit from this. For $295, you can get a full-featured 32-bit version of Mathematica for use at home. Commercial uses are prohibited. So is using it for the class you teach at a school. But for true math nerds, like me, who consider Mathematica to be recreational software that we use at home, this sounds like a great bargain! http://www.wolfram.com/products/mathematicahomeedition/
In case you're not familiar with it, you ought to give a look at SAGE -- new, free, open-source computer algebra system which is quite good (in many cases at least as good or better than any out there): http://www.sagemath.org/ You can run it on the web at http://www.sagenb.org, or download it. Right now the windows version runs under vmware (really running Ubuntu Linux), but it's planned that soon (as in a month or two) there'll be a native windows version.
