The Student Edition of Maple 8 can be purchased from the University of South Florida Bookstore for  $129. This is the full version of Maple 8 and has not been limited in any way. It is a great bargain. The undiscounted price is over $1000. The Student Edition can only be licensed to full-time, registered students. So you may be required to show student ID when you purchase it. The program comes on a CD which contains versions for Windows (95, 98, 2000, ME, NT and XP) and Linux. The Macintosh version of Maple 8 is not available yet. (August 30, 2002). Go to
