There are a few options. The mail matlab replacements are scilib and
octave.
Other options which I haven't tried but may do what you want:
maxima
yacas
axiom
perl pdl has a simple command line interface, possibly also the python
alternative.
apt-cache search brings up a few more possible options when searching for
matlab and mathematica.
bc may also do what you want.
