	You should look into Maple from Waterloo-Maple Software.
The price keeps changing, it's real hard to keep track of, but
assuming your school has no special relationship with them, it
should be about $300-$400 or so.
	It requires 10MB of hard drive space available, but that
is all. You probably WANT an 030, but then the A3000 comes with
one. How convenient. 8-)

	Maple is a general all-purpose math package with
(currently) 2-D graphing capabilities similar to Mathematica.
