The Math Everywhere Courseware Series

Mathematica veterans will probably remember the first version of Calculus&Mathematica, which was published in a chunky set of spiralbound volumes by Addison-Wesley in the late ’80s (cf. the review in Maths & Stats [1]).

It is no longer published in printed form by a mainstream publisher, but is being distributed on CD-ROM by Wolfram Research Inc, the creators of Mathematica, who are promoting educational courseware as a “vertical application” of their own product (other computer mathematics software companies, notably Matlab and Mathcad, are actively doing this as well)….
