PS. Somebody (A. Coppin?) said that Mathematica not without reason costs 10000. Weeeeelll, less than 2000, and for students there are much cheaper possibi- lities. I am the last to make free ads for Wolfram, I recommend the usage of Axiom and Maxima to my students, but there is no need to say publicly some dubious truths about commercial software.
Yes, that was me. And there's no need for "debious truths" - anybody that wants to can check the price right now: http://store.wolfram.com/view/app/mathematica/ Mmm, that *is* interesting... The price has indeed changed to £2,035. Ah well, it might as well be £2,000,000 for all the difference it makes - I will never own anywhere near that kind of money. :-( PS. I wonder why it costs more on UNIX...?
