I'm, contrary to everybody else, going to comment just on this. My favorite here is without a doubt R. r-recommended in Debian and http://www.r-project.org/ on the web. It has some minimal, but very cool, OO concepts (as opposed to e.g. the proprietary IDL, which is supposed to be OO, but is (was) entirely misunderstood), and has a very straightforward mapping between math and code. E.g. for loops are unneeded in R, and that's actually a good thing. Highly recommended!
