Requirements: What do I need to run mathStatica ?
You need:   A computer running Mathematica 4 or Mathematica 5.

Over and above a standard Mathematica installation, mathStatica requires some additional disk space, as follows:

Sometimes, people buy the book even if they do not have a copy of Mathematica because they are interested to see what mathStatica can do. Then they get their university, research institution or company to buy their own copy of Mathematica, and they install mathStatica on top. If you are in academia, your university probably already has some sort of site license for Mathematica and you may be able to obtain a copy for a nominal amount. The fully functional Student version of Mathematica is also superb value if you are eligible to purchase it. Please contact Wolfram Research, the makers of Mathematica, for pricing details regarding Mathematica.

Is mathStatica compatible with Mathematica 4.2 ?
Absolutely! - mathStatica runs beautifully under Mathematica 4.2.

Mathematica 4.x users can use either mathStatica 1.0 Basic (free to Springer book owners) or mathStatica 1.2 GOLD.

We have been working on a new version for Mathematica 6 which is expected to be available in June 2008. We recommend that our users who upgrade now to Mathematica 6 still keep a copy of Mathematica 5 on their computer until mathStatica 2.0 is released.

Special offer: Users who purchase mathStatica 1.5 after 1 June 2007 are entitled to a free upgrade to mathStatica 2.0 when it is released.

Windows: 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, XP, Vista Mac: OS X Linux UNIX: Sun Solaris, SGI, IBM RISC, DEC AXP, AlphaLinux and HP-UX

For a detailed and up-to-date listing, click here. If you can run Mathematica 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, or 5.0, 5.1 or 5.2 on your platform, then a version of mathStatica is compatible with your platform.

mathStatica is now used in over 50 countries, including almost every major university in the USA and at institutions such as Boeing, NASA and Los Alamos Labs.

Which version of mathStatica is included with the book?

The book comes bundled with mathStatica 1.0 Basic version. This is perfectly compatible with Mathematica 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2.

Due to changes in the design of Mathematica, please note that mathStatica 1.0 Basic and 1.2 Gold are NOT compatible with Mathematica 5.

Springer book owners who want to use Mathematica 5 can upgrade to mathStatica 1.5 Gold at discounted pricing, from just $89 for academic/student users.

If I buy a USED copy of the book, will I still be able to install mathStatica?

NO - the mathStatica CD can only be registered once.

Please note: If someone advertises Mathematical Statistics with Mathematica as 'used' or 'like new' or 'in great condition' etc, it is very likely that the seller or a previous owner has already installed the bundled software on their computer and that she or he is now trying to on-sell the book. If you buy this USED book, it's software allocation/discount will already have been utilised.

Please also note that the special price of US$89 for academics/students mS only applies if you have purchased your own new book.

What is the difference between mathStatica BASIC and GOLD?
Please see the Gold Upgrade page for details.

Is mathStatica 1.2 available in a Basic version?
No.

Is mathStatica 1.5 available in a Basic version?
No.

I want the GOLD version ...  but I want my dept/company to pay for it!
If you do not have a company credit card, we can also accept cheques and direct bank transfers. In these cases, instead of using our automated e-commerce system, we will process both your purchase and your registration manually.

How To Order
1. Ask us (sales@mathStatica.com) for a PRO FORMA invoice and state who the invoice should be made out to.
2. After payment is received, we immediately send you your GOLD upgrade files and GOLD password by email.

Security / privacy policy We take both your and our security and privacy very seriously:   We do not store any credit card details on our servers.   The mathStatica web site uses industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on all web pages where personal information is required.   All transactions are processed securely in real-time.

I can't find mathStatica under the list of Mathematica Applications on the Wolfram web site?? As of 2007, the Wolfram web site only lists the subset of application packages that Wolfram has obtained rights to re-sell. We do not discount to Wolfram Research - if we did, we would have to double the price of mathStatica, making it inaccessible to thousands of our users. By contrast, many of the smaller developers do not have their own web stores / sales staff, so they use the Wolfram facility.
