MuPAD 1.4.0, a system for symbolic and numeric computation and
mathematical programming, was ported to several platforms, including
Windows 95 and NT, several Unix systems and the Apple Macintosh, and
we added an OS/2 port just recently. For many platforms, there is a
comfortable window-based graphical user interface. But for OS/2, we
made just a terminal version for a start. This may change with future
releases if there is enough commercial demand for a full-featured
graphics version, but there will definitely be no port of the
graphics to OS/2 this year.

Moreover, the OS/2 version of MuPAD is currently usupported. This
means you get a free license for it. You may use it as you like, but
there is no support, of course. You may also not re-distribute this
version or refer to it in any software review without permission of
SciFace. Further on SciFace reserves the right to withdraw this free
license at any time in the future.

Here is a short list of the capabilities of MuPAD:

Mathematical Functionality:
  - Arithmetic:
      * exact integer and rational arithmetic
      * floating point arithmetic with arbitrary precision
      * complex and quaternion arithmetic
  - Transcendental functions
  - Expression manipulation
  - Solving
  - Calculus
  - Numerical computations
  - Set Theory
  - Linear Algebra
  - Linear optimization
  - Number Theory
  - Algebraic Structures
  - Polynomials

The MuPAD language:
  - easy-to-learn programming language
  - Pascal-like syntax
  - imperative, functional and object-oriented programming
  - generation of TeX output
