The first
advanced math package I remember using on a microcomputer was
MuMath/MuSimp. Whatever happened to it?
It evolved into Derive (for DOS and Windows). Then TI used Derive
to create the math software for the TI-92. They made a lot of changes,
however, so you really couldn't say the -92 is running Derive -- more like
a relative. I have MuMath/MuSimp for the Apple ][. It uses an OS
called ADIOS
which works suspiciously like CP/M. The whole package was distributed
by Microsoft, though I'm sure they didn't write it. Unfortunately
MuStar wasn't ported to the Apple.
I first used MuMath/MuSimp on the TRS-80 Model I, and later for
CP/M.
