Maple is available on the Mac.  It's well liked by experienced Maple users, as
the Mac interface adds cut-and-paste, multiple windows, etc.  It's not the
memory hog that Mathematica is, which is the more widely publicised
alternative.  Neither is as user friendly as your run-of-the-mill Mac
application, but then they aren't run-of-the-mill applications :-)

Maple will run happily on a Mac Plus with 1 Meg of RAM.  You need
about 6.5 Meg of hard disk space to install the full program, more if you want
the source files as well.
