No, I've not seen this package. My opinion of mathematica
is that it's way too expensive to contemplate. The times
I've used it in the past have been way too non-productive.
Maple, which I have owned in the past and liked, is likewise
too costly. It's not that I can't afford these, its that I
won't. At these prices I would sooner write my own CAS to
handle the problem. In fact I've looked at GiNaC and CLN
which are great libraries for just these reasons.
