This has been discussed before. Just try searching and you will find...

Anyway, being an engineering student, I use some of the things you mention. At home I use Maple 10 and (sometimes) Matlab. On the go I use my Axim with powerOne Graph (unfortunately not yet available natively for PPCs, so I use a palm emulator -styletap) which has the functionality a TI 83 has, including operations with matrixes with complex numbers and graphs, and qdCAS, a computer algebra system for the PPC. I tried SpaceTime (not the free one) which is quite complete (can do 3d and 4d graphs), but I didn't like the interface (too cramped, compared to powerOne Graph which has an excellent interface). I tried the HP emulator, but I found it to be almost useless, because the interface is not meant for PDAs, so I found myself tapping on the emulated calculator screen, and finding nothing happened.

If you like powerOne Graph, I emailed the company (Infinity Softworks) and was told a version for the PPC was in the works, but didn't tell me when it would be released (I don't think anytime soon).
