I use Mathematica right now for school and personally I think it's great. It's great for plotting graphs, solving equations, integrals, derivatives.. I've only just hit the surface of the things it can do. It's definately a great piece of software, and paying $140 for a student license is much better than however much it is for a normal. Printing things is a snap also
