A slashdot article alerted me to Sage, a mathematics program that has both a command-line and a web frontend for working with general, advanced, pure and applied mathematics. It appears to compete in the same space as Magma, Maple, Mathematica, and MATLAB. I have fond memories of using the student version of MathCad. The blurb:

Use SAGE for studying a huge range of mathematics, including algebra, calculus, elementary to very advanced number theory, cryptography, numerical computation, commutative algebra, group theory, combinatorics, graph theory, and exact linear algebra.

Use an Open Source Alternative By using SAGE you help to support a viable open source alternative to Magma, Maple, Mathematica, and MATLAB. SAGE includes many high-quality open source math packages.

Sage's document also pointed me to jsMath

PS: to my good friend Ren: "Made you look!"
