There are a slew of mathematical/statistical packages that run on Linux
including the following commercial titles:

  MatLAB :       http://www.mathworks.com/
  Mathematica :  http://www.wolfram.com/
  SAS :          http://www.sas.com/service/admin/unix/admindoc.html

and a bunch of free projects :

  Octave :  http://www.octave.org/
  R :       http://www.r-project.org/
  netlib :  http://www.netlib.org/


These six are only a sampling of whats out there.

I have no idea what sort of analyses you'd like to do or how you'd like
to approach them, so I can't make any recommendations.  If you provide a
better description of your needs, I can help steer you towards one of
the suites that is likely to be a better match.

Ed
