I am considering purchasing Mathematica, but would like to know how easy
it  would be in Mathematica (e.g., what is learning curve) to solve
simple  problems like:

1.  Find a tangent line to one or more curves (curves could be circle, 
ellipse, circular arc, elliptical arc, rectangle, and if possible,
spline)

2.  Find the intersection points between two curves

(accuracy is important)


Thanks in advance.
