I recently wrote to the Symbolic Computation Group at the University of
Waterloo for more information about their symbolic math package "Maple."

The response I got was that "McMaple 4.0" runs as a tool under MPW, and 
1MB of memory is quite sufficient for all but really large problems.
They may produce a stand-alone version later, but MPW is required now (they
will have a upgrade policy when newer versions come out).

The thing that really cooled me was the price -- $590.00 for individuals (with
a 50% discount to educational institutions).  This is probably a real bargain
for such a powerful system (and all source to Maple libraries is included),
but a bit much for a weekend experimenter.  They have more elaborate policies
for site-licensing.

The person to contact at Waterloo is:
