No it wasn't Maple. I'm familiar with Maple. I found it by following ads in MacWorld magazine back in the day. It should be identifiable by checking issues between December 1984 and May 1987.

- doodlebugging 1y agoThanks. I'll dig through and see what I can find or dig through my disk archive.

- doodlebugging 1y agoThank you for the link. I'm pretty sure I found it in the Internet Archive's issues of MacWorld from back in the day. On page 9 (10 in the archive) of the April 1988 issue there is an advert for Eureka: The Solver by Borland International (Of course! They had such excellent software for years.) There is a writeup about it on pages 191-192 (pages 192-193 in the archive). One of the tools available is a polynomial finder. That is the tool that I used. I will look around to see whether I still have the disk. I also found my favorite, and first computer game since it was my first computer. Silicon Beach Software put out a game called Airborne! in 1984. I got the Mac in January 1985 and bought that game with it. Fun stuff! Thanks for the help.
