I've been exploring the linux os, which happens to be the KDE version, and there are a lot of neat little programs that are already downloaded. I can't mention all of them, but they vary in their uses. One of the programs is called Genius, and is excellent for math-related projects. Believe it or not, but Genius actually supports its own unique programming language that the user can use to write and run programs. It's actually quite similar to Python and is relatively easy to understand and use. It also has built-in math functions that help me with quick little tasks. Overall, I really like this program, and I plan to do some more experimenting with it.

Another cool little program, or game actually, is called GL-117. It is like a flight simulator, but the planes come equipped with a gun and missiles. It has retro-looking graphics, and is still really fun to play.
