Well I went and did some research on this Mathematica thing - nice looking package, and it would be great for repetitive high level calcs. For single ones though, it would take more time to program the darn thing from what I read then it would for most people to write out the 4 or 5 pages of A4 to solve from first principles.

Besides, my Uni lecturer told me that life was full of "friend mathematicians & friend statisticians" to make all these worries disappear [img]smile.gif[/img]
