 Hi,
 See,

 http://wolfram.com/products/student/mathforstudents/index.html

 Contact Wolfram to see where you stand with what's on the computer you 
 bought.
 Mathematica is for all levels. There is of course a learning curve. 
 But don't despair, because you can always contact the group and I am 
 sure you will get help from all sorts of people from all over the 
 world.

 Best of luck
 Yas
