Product: Interactive calculation tool and programming language.
System requirements and prices:
IBM-compatible computer MS-DOS 3.0 or later on a 80386 or higher processor: 8 megabytes of RAM recommended plus 16 megabytes hard-disk space, $595; optional 80287/387 numeric coprocessor for enhanced version, $895.
IBM-compatible computer Windows 3.0 or later or a 80386 or higher processor: 8 megabytes of RAM recommended plus 16 megabytes hard-disk space; 80287/ 387 numeric coprocessor for enhanced version, $995.
Apple Macintosh: 8 megabytes recommended, $595; optional numeric coprocessor for enhanced version, $895.
Other compatible platforms include: Convex, DG, DEC, HP Apollo, IBM, MIPS, NEC, NeXT, Silicon Graphics, Sony, Sun Microsystems.
If you always wanted to do mathematics but were afraid to try, then Mathematica 2.0 is just the package for you. It's simple, fu to use and has powerful graphics. Sure has its limitations, but if you can push the program to its limits, you are probably mathematician yourself and you can do this stuff in your head anyway.
I found it tough to provide a comprehensive review of Mathematica because it is nearly as deep as it is broad. It has many functions I know nothing about. So I decided to review it from the perspective of a technical analyst or a user working in the financial arena. Detailed Mathematica reviews have appeared elsewhere.
