Does anyone know of a Mathematica equivalent software for Linux?

A link for download will be good..
Thanks

The main open source alternatives are sage, octave, scilab
Each has slightly different focuss so it depend son your needs.
Sage is probably the closest to mathematica/pure maths
octave/scilab are more matlab/data analysis
 
If you can get Mathematica in the 1st place get it for Linux :wink: .
