Abstract

Two products that transform mathematical expressions into useful results are reviewed. One is Math View Professional version 0.94, a self-contained mathematics application that is capable of performing a nearly encyclopedic range of mathematical, graphical, and statistical operations. The authors briefly summarize the program´s features, touch on the manual supplied with the review copy, offer some details about the program, and suggest some future improvements. The other product reviewed is MathCAD 2.0 which allows free-form mathematical expressions to be entered in much the say way as text is entered into a word processor. These packages provide tools for the non-computer-oriented problem solver.<>
