3.0 out of 5 stars outdated software, December 24, 2004
This review is from: MACSYMA for Statisticians (Hardcover)
The statistical methods given in this book are certainly still valid. But the author should seriously consider producing a new edition of her book. Published in 1991, it used the then current version of Macsyma. That is a long epoch in software. Macsyma has been upgraded several times since.

To be sure, the upgrades tend to form a superset. So if you get a recent copy of the code, then the book's advice should still mostly be germane.

But undoubtedly, the upgrades have involved expanded statistical capabilities, and improved graphics. It would thus be nice to use a book that adequately reflected this, to enhance your productivity.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nothing to do with statisticians, February 10, 2005
This review is from: MACSYMA for Statisticians (Hardcover)
The content of this book is alomst nothing to do with the statisticians. It introduces the usage of elementary commands of macsyma. Disappointed... It might be useful only to beginners.
