Cost
If the computer and software is readily available, there is no additional cost. If the software has
not been purchased, there are two options. The cheapest route is to simply download Math Reader from
the creators of Mathematica (Wolfram Research) free of charge. Just following the appropriate links at
http://www.wolfram.com. The other route is
to purchase a copy of Mathematica. For precollege educators,
Mathematica is $195.00. For students, Mathematica is $139.95. For the rest of the population,
Mathematica Professional Edition is $895.00. Of course, they have licensing options that you may
want to investigate as well. Before selecting which choice is best for you, please be sure to continue and
read the "Pertinent Issues" section in this report. To view the file for this module without purchasing
Mathematica, simply download Math Reader from the creators of Mathematica (Wolfram Research)
free of charge.
You can download Math Reader for your specific platform at
