Mathomatic? (in the repository). Never tried, though.

I recommend Maxima, an excellent and free multi-platform application for mathematics.

Maxima is very good. I also have Mathematica installed, which does have a native Linux version.

You can try GNU Octave, it's a free clone of Matlab.
You can use it for operations on matrices, plotting function (uses GNU plot), solving linear systems, numerical analysis and such.
It's also a full programming language, the syntax is a bit akward but it's very powerful for this kind of stuff.
