RE: Maple on Fedora

I have found | that if I contact Mathematica and explain that I have updated my OS and | need a new password for the new configuration, that I get what I need | with no problem. Good to hear. Perhaps I should include more details. The version my daughter has is no longer supported. In fact, it wasn't even supported when she got a new computer about two years after her initial purchase. Since some system libraries were statically linked into the program, it was not possible to run the binary that she had on a then-current Fedora. Since that version of Mathematica was no longer supported, she could not get that version linked with newer libraries. There was no upgrade path for Mathematica versions. She had an inexpensive student license and would need to buy it all over again (she was and is still a student). Perhaps a full-priced license has a discounted upgrade path. She only uses Mathematica once in a blue moon. I would guess that she would use it more if she had it at hand. But she doesn't feel that her usage would justify relicensing. Besides, she feels that that would be an invitation for the same thing to happen again. Perhaps we were misinformed about Wolfram's policy but we got it from conversations with their support folks. Anyway, the take-away is that binary licenses don't always mix well with open platforms due to those platforms' quick evolution. This is especially true of Fedora as opposed to, say, *BSD or RHEL/CentOS. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Yes Maple 12 does have a quite sophisticated tensor package and can do calculations of the tensor calculus needed for GR.
