                 Introducing S-PLUS 2000

"Developments for the Pharmaceutical and Health Industries"

MathSoft are pleased to announce a FREE presentation of  S-PLUS 2000, 
a major upgrade of S-PLUS on the Windows platform. Two guest speakers, 
Dr James Roger and Dr Scott Emerson will present on benefits of  using 
S-PLUS in the pharmaceutical and health sector. Dr James Roger, Livedata, 
will present a comparison of Linear and Non-Linear mixed effects modelling 
using S-PLUS  and SAS. Dr Scott Emerson, University of Washington, is the 
author of  S-PLUS SeqTrial, a new S-PLUS module for the Sequential Trial 
Design, due for release later this year.  

An outline of the presentation schedule is given below:
