MathStatica or something else?

[Torben Hoffmann]

Hi,

I have seen MathStatica in action on their web page and it seems rather
impressive - I was wondering which other tools handles symbolic math and
statistics on the same level?

Links to comparisons between the tools would be most welcome!

Thanks in advance

You could try Maple and the free program Maxima, a descendant Macsyma,
but I don't know how they compare to MathStatica.

I am interested in Mathstatica and have bought the book that
accompanies it, but I am not going to try it seriously until it is
compatible with Mathematica 5 (the most recent release of that
program). Just reading the book recently helped me answer a
colleague's question.
