sets for homework assignments
- challenge the students to think about using computers to solve problems
that are algebraic and not just numeric in nature
- show the students the intermediate steps in algebraic computations.

It is, however, electronically documented by means of 20 Mathematica
notebooks.

The Notebooks in the PWS Product, however, are only compatible with
Mathematica 2.2.
The PWS product requires 13 Mb of disk space, and Mathematica should be
configured to run in at least 12 Mb of memory.

Macintosh and PC (Windows) versions are available.
Unix and Windows 95 users should order the PC (Windows) version.
For compatibility, Windows 95 users will also need the package
TruncCon.m, which they will need to evaluate before loading the Signal
Processing Packages.
