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 first 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 programs that you may want to investigate as well, which may affect the cost of the program. The second option is to use a graphing calculator. If you do not have a graphing calculator, one can be bought at any electronic retailer for around $100.00. To view the file for this module without purchasing Mathematica, simply download Math Reader from the creators of Mathematica (Wolfram Research) free of charge.
