For a GPL symbolic algebra system, you can try Maxima. For a free (as in

Octave is a Matlab-like numerical package which is distributed under GNU
General Public License rules. For matrix and linear algebra
computations it is ideal.
Mathematica is mainly a symbolic algebra tool and is not free.
I have not used it myself.
Octave does not have a symbolic algebra compon

you the ability to calculate with complex formulas without loosing
precision (exact). For statistical math you can try SPLUS. Most standard
