There is a version available for the AMIGA.

Unless I am mistaken it costs $590 in Canadian dollars.
There is a 50% discount for accredited educational institutions.

A short description of maple is as follows :

     Maple has the ability to algebraically manipulate unbounded integers,
     exact rational numbers, real numbers with arbitrary precision,
     symbolic formulae, polynomials, sets, lists, and equations.
     It can solve systems of equations, differentiate formulae,
     and integrate formulae.

For more information (ie. minimum memory configuration, etc) send email to

	maple%watmath@waterloo.CSNET
	maple@watdcs.BITNET

I'm not associated with the maple group here, nor do I have maple on
my AMIGA. I just use maple every now and then whilst doing assignments for
courses and I think it's neat.
