<p>Hey!</p>

<p>Just got my laptop....I had this Mathematica software that I got from this math competition....should I install it? Do math majors use mathematica/maple/some other Computer algebra software?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>You’ll probably use Maple or Matlab more for the first few years…</p>

<p>If you have it there’s no harm in installing it.</p>

<p>For Engineering, I use Matlab heavily and have used Maple in math courses (Diff Eq’s). I know math majors who use Maple a lot.</p>
