I'll have to defer at this point to the judgement of others.  Although I use
some math software extensively and have doens os for decades, I'm still very
much "old school", and see this as killing a fly with a sledge hammer.  I don't
see a real advantage over more traditional methods in this instance, I'm afraid.
Sorry about that.  for some things it is really much simpler to do the same
effort with pen and paper, and reason through the process.  It is the reasoning,
however slow, that needs the practice.

David.
