All, If you bounce to sites such as www.decisioneering.com you will see many addins that proclaim to do, as Excel addins, sophisticated Monte Carlo Simulations, Time Series etc. For those of us trying to justify using Mathematica 4.x along with the ExcelLink addin as an alternative, could someone point to some objective sources of counterarguments. I have William Shaw's Derivatives Modelling book and would appreciate arguments similar in vein to his Chapter 1. Thanks very much and apologies if this seems not in keeping with the spirit of the list, but, to me, these types of apps are what I bought Mathematica for, and, if I can't justify their use corporately, then all of its potential is, in essence, wasted. Thank you Geoff McInnes Regards, Geoff McInnes gmcinnes at attcanada.net gmcinnes at businessanalytics.net
