There is a great deal of software available to Athena users that may be put to good use for 8.01X:

• Maple: a symbolic calculation, numerical and graphics program. Besides the instructions linked from the above page, other sources are:
• Maple at MIT
• Using Maple for ESG Subjects (Much of the ESG information is very subject-specific, but there are lots of examples.)
• Xess: a powerful spreadsheet program, great for tabulating, manipulating and displaying data.
