Eureka: the Solver
A product from Roger Schlafly. Eureka was an equation solving and graphics product from Borland in the late 1980s.
It ran under DOS and on the Mac. Eureka was listed among the InfoWorld Magazine top 100 hardware and software computer
products of 1987.
Roger created Eureka, and when Borland abandoned it, and put out a shareware version under the name Mercury.
You can find version 2.09 from Univ. of Tennessee, Simtel, or other DOS shareware repositaries.
Hardly anyone pays for Eureka or Mercury anymore, thats why author released a freeware version of Eureka. It is free
for personal or educational use. Some commercial use is also free - contact with him for permission.
The program is rather dated, but it still has some useful features. For example, it can give exact solutions to numerical
problems. In certain cases, it will give provably all solutions and show only those digits that have been proved to be
correct.
