Math programs for Mac?

Question

I have been using an old version of MathCad on my Mac for some time. It runs under OS 9. I am planning an upgrade to a newer version of OS X that does not allow booting OS 9, and MathCad apparently no longer supports Mac. I would like to find a math program for the Max at a reasonable price (about $100). Any suggestions?

I guess it depends on what you need the software for, but I use Mathematica the most. Maple is also pretty good. Here are some possibly useful links:
