Last fall, Mathematica came to purdue to show their wares right after the 
NeXT demonstration.  When asked that very question, "Will Mathematica be
available on the Amiga?" The answer was YES.

The Kernal for M is the same for all machines (If I remember correctly),
but the graphical/user interface is what will take the time to port.
I would expect that M will not run too well without adding another couple
of Meg to the Amy 2000 as well as a harddrive. In fact, I would think that
the A2500 will be a pretty good base for Mathematica.

Oh, The person who presented to Purdue, was Nancy Blachman (Blackman?),
I don't have her e-mail address in front of me, but will find it later
so you can post your questions directly to her.
