There are Linux versions of some of these. http://www.maplesoft.com/products/maple/student/95sysreq_stu.shtml http://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab/requirements.html They won't necessarily be cheap, but they do exist. Unfortunately, Solidworks equivalent page, http://www.solidworks.com/pages/services/SystemRequirements.html , is full of MS/Intel FUD, so there's not much hope there. And the Mathcad page says that the latest version needs the .NET framework: there may be the possibility at some point of running it on Mono instead, but I don't think I'd recommend that to you at this point in time.
