Hello Erika
I would also agree with Hermann about starting with QGIS to view your
files and work with them, but as I have recently discovered when setting up my
labs, the plugins for QGIS on Mac have a lot of dependencies that are not
included in the repo version, so follow the instructions here
carefully downloading all the extra packages first
http://www.kyngchaos.com/software/qgis
GRASS and QGIS interface pretty nicely - I have a couple of QGIS / GRASS labs
on my website that might help get you started (although they are
specifically designed for archaeology students)

Good luck!
