I am in need of a mathematics program for the Mac. One of the requirements is
the ability to generate curves from equations by automatically changing the
variables. I know about _Mathematica_, but I am looking for something cheaper.
We do not want to buy an $800 program for each member of the group.

We do have a network with on machine doing nothing most of the time. We are 
running TOPS as network software. What would be the performance of _Mathematica_
when mounted on a system as a TOPS volume?

Thanks in advance.
