[MIT ONLY]
We've purchased a batch of copies of the Maple Technical Newsletter
Special Issue/94 to distribute. This issue contains a wide range of
articles on topics involving wavelets, general relativity, biology,
turtle graphics, amongst other things. I've added a summary of the
articles in this issue to the web pages (see below for the URL of the
MTN web pages).
Since we have to purchase these copies for educational purposes, first
priority on distribution will go to MIT Faculty. I'll pile up
requests for a few days before sending out copies. After that, supply
will be rationed on a first-come, first-served basis. If anybody at
MIT would be interested in having a copy, please let me know (by
sending email to f_l@mit.edu, or by calling x3-0115). Be sure to
provide your office address so that we can inter-campus mail them to
you.
I still have some copies of recent back issues available. If you are
missing any recent issues, let me know what you are looking for and
I'll see what I can do. Please don't ask for duplicates of what
you already have.
In past some people have asked me if I could set up a distibution list
that I would always use to send people current copies of MTN.
Unfortunately, I suspect because of production costs, we get fewer
free copies of MTN than we used to. We are supplementing the free
copies with a comparable number that we pay for. As a result, I need
to ration them a little more carefully and will only be sending them
to people that contact me, and will allocate copies with an emphasis
towards giving them to those involved in using Maple educationally
at MIT.
[THIS NEXT ITEM MAY BE OF INTEREST TO NON-MIT PEOPLE TOO]
If you make use of the World-Wide-Web (via programs like Mosaic),
brief summaries of the MTN articles are available online, including
summaries for the current issue. The URL for the newsletter info is:
http://web.mit.edu/afs/athena.mit.edu/software/maple/www/mtn.html
I don't distribute issues of the newsletter outside of MIT, so non-MIT
folks interested in getting copies of the MTN will need to either
contact the person that maintains Maple at your site, your library, or
you can contact the publisher (Burkhauser).
[DISCLAIMER: For Issue #10, Vol1 No1, and Vol1 No2, I was the assistant
editor of the MTN. This should not be construed as an endorsement of
the newsletter or Maple itself by MIT.]
