Hi all,

I've been re-learning some math, and am thinking of buying a mathematics software package such as Mathematica or MATLAB. Does anyone have a recommendation? I'm looking for usability and a lot of versatility.

I'm leaning heavily against a calculator due to screen size limitations.

Mathematica can be purchased for $295 for a home version, and they offer a discount for upgrades. My husband has a very, very old version (2.x), so we might be able to upgrade.

From what I've seen on the Wolfram site, I like Mathematica the best. But I haven't used it, and was wondering if anyone here has an opinion.
