I'll just throw this out there because it's not in the mainstream, but Mathematica is well worth considering if you are still @ uni and can get it for cheap. The advantage is that mathematica is a very powerful language for doing "mathy" stuff and you can get some nice results very easily - for example, fractals. http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/

And if you can't get Mathematica, Sage/Python/NumPy is a good alternative package.
thx I'll have to check those out, my mathematica license is gone :[
