Re: Math Software for Macs

I can't help much re: Derive and True Basic. I spent a while about a =
year ago looking a Mac program that is similar to Autograph, and while =
there are certainly a lot of graphing programs for the Mac platform, I =
couldn't find one that matched Autograph's ease of use and full feature =
set. I finally installed VMWare Fusion and ran Autograph via Windows =
emulation.

I have not failed. I have merely found 10,000 ways which do not work.

You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change =
something, build a new model which makes the existing model obsolete.
