In the magazine <<Australian PC World>>, June 1992, page 119, Mr.
Geoff Long wrote, "SymbMath 1.4 belongs in a more esoteric field, that of
symbolic mathematics. If you've ever had need for programs such as Maple
or Mathematica, you'll know about symbolic mathematics, also called
algebraic computation or symbolic manipulation. SymbMath is a symbolic
calculator that can manipulate complicated formulas and return answers
in terms of symbols. It solves the same sort of problems as programs like
Mathematica, but still runs in 640 K of RAM as opposed to Mathematica's
4 Mb plus. Although SymbMath is still being added to, it has generated
interest in the scientific sections of some overseas electronic bulletin
board, being one of the most frequently download programms at some
monitored sites".
The Journal <<IEEE Micro>> on February 1992, page 76, said,
"SymbMath, an expert system that solves mathematic problems in symbolic
formula or through numeric computation ... requires significantly less
RAM than most comparable software - 640 Kbytes, as opposed to as much
as 4 Mbytes".
