Sage 3.0.1 was released a few days ago

http://www.sagemath.org/

Why not try that, rather than asking for a pirate copy of Maple? It is
legally free. If you have $10, you can buy a book on it from Amazon

There is an online Sage notebook at

you need to sign up for an account, but it is free.

Thank you Dave. Let me explain, more. I am interested in doing symbolic math
that is verifiable and with least effort on my part. I learned Maple in a
one semester 900 level graduate course. That took a lot of effort. With that
effort I was able to write one theoretical paper that was published in an
international nuclear journal. So my effort was not in vain. I've had a
superficial look at Sage. The problem I see, is that I would need to
duplicate the great effort that I put into a 900 level graduate course in
order to learn Sage. After I learn Sage, I would be in a position to
evaluate Sage on the basis of my understanding of Maple. It may or may not
be up to my expectations regarding verifiability. If I accepted the results
as verified then I would need to put in another great amount of effort into
writing a second theoretical paper to be submitted to an international
nuclear journal to determine if that international journal considered Sage
to be verified. In other words I would need to expend one man year of effort
to determine if my investment of time in learning Sage is or is not in vain.
I cannot see that the effort is worth the risk Do you agree?
