Taking advantage of the powerful Mathematica system CalculationCenter integrates symbolics numerics graphics and typesetting in an easy to use form. The software comes on a CD and there is a Getting Started booklet providing amongst other things basic installation instructions: the program runs on a PC under Microsoft Windows 95 or later or on a Macintosh machine under Mac OS 7.5.3 or later occupying about 85 Mb of hard disk space. This includes the on-line help. The documentation accompanying the review software states that the retail price is £260 for a single user.
