Subject: Computer software for Differential Equations

Greetings Everyone!

I am trying to test some computer algebra systems like DERIVE, MAPLE,
MATHEMATICA, etc that are useful in solving Differential Equations.
My concern is this:

I want a Computer Algebra System that can do the job (that is, solve
differential equations) and at the same time suitable for students'
learning process.

Do you have any experience with any computer algebra system that you
may want to share in relation to its integration in the Differential
Equation course?

I wish to get your opinion on the effectiveness of such computer
algebra system in relation to the subject that you are teaching
(specifically Differential Equations).

Email for your response or post your message here for everyone
to learn from.

Thanks in advance.
