Well, there is a version of MATLAB for the amiga. It's PD in the current
release, but the author says the next one will be commercial or shareware. It's
not Mathematica, but it's quite nice and functional. The current release even
has a nice little built in graphing package. I can't remember where I found it,
but it was probably ftp'ed from somewhere.
