634.0. "Good Math Program" by CURIE::DECARTERET (Garfield) Thu Dec 17 1987 21:00

    Does anyone know of a program that will do Algebra for me?  I need
    one that can handle variables.

        Try MAPLE for real kicks, CALX for secondary kicks, and SC
        for an HP scientific calculator (SC won't do variables).
        
        You may want the MATH conference (CLT::MATH), find the kit
        for MAPLE in the MODEL::MAPLE conference, CALX in
        METOO::SW_TOOLS_CLEARINGHOUSE.
        
        Go for MAPLE.

634.2It's not a VAX, but...SRFSUP::LONGOBob LongoFri Dec 18 1987 19:285
    If you want a fun toy, go get yourself a Hewlett Packard HP-28C
    calculator.  In addition to algebra, it plots graphs, does calculus
    (symbolic and numerical), unit conversions, etc.  It's amazing.
