Some old articles on Maple. The information might be out of date.

Well I can't really say how Maple compares to those two packages as I've
never used either of them. But from what I hear Maple is more complete
than Reduce and "equal but different" than Macsyma. Take that with a
grain of salt, there are better people to make that comparison.
Maple 4.2 for the Amiga is completed and shipping. The above pricing
seems right (the $395 is right, I don't know about the $790 list).
Amiga Maple is a port of the standard Maple 4.2, it runs in a standard
console window (or redirected from files etc.). The interface is text
only. There is an Amiga plot facility where plots can be generated
in hires or hires-interlace mode on the Amiga in addition to the
normal plot flavours. Other than this, Amiga Maple 4.2 is just a straight
port.
Amiga Maple 4.2 requires a hard disk and at least 1 megabyte of extra memory
in order to do non-trivial computations.
If there are any questions about the Amiga port you can address them
to me (while I'm here which isn't going to be for too long). Questions
about Maple in general are better handled by the Symbolic Computation
Group ([email protected]).

Maple (version 4.2) distribution for the Amiga is not being handled by
WATCOM Products, but by:
Symbolic Computation Group
The Department of Computer Science
The University of Waterloo
Waterloo, Ontario N2L 3G1
(519)888-4474
(WATCOM Products handles Maple distribution for larger computer systems.)
This latest version of Maple for the Amiga requires at least 1Mb RAM
and ~10Mb free space on hard disk. There are substantial discounts for
educational and research institutions.

Additional notes:
1. the phone number is (519) 885-1211 x 3055
2. the cost (for both amigas and macs) is $995 ($US)!!! ($1,000 - 5)
at that price, it's too rich for me.
