Maple has been ported to the Amiga. The current version is 4.2. The newest
version will be Maple V. It is currently in beta testing for the Amiga and
will be ported to Amiga UNIX. It is an excellent pgm. We use it as our
primary software in our Amiga Classroom to teach a full range of mathematics
courses.
