Dear Professor Zeilberger, Your opinion 92 advice, was extremely relevent( atleast to me). However I do have one (minor)quibble. Why do you stress computational algebra so much and never computational arithmetic. To a "simple" math student like me solving an integral or an ODE numerically is a nice experience. To be fair to the numerical analysts out there you might also want to add computer arithmetic(or whatever name u call it) and also suggest coding in matlab. Also, why not the open source equivalent of Mapleor Matlab instead of Maple/Matlab? Regards, Shibi
