Hi! I'm a student of physics. can you advice me a good program for kubuntu about mathematics (to design functions and other things...)?

Re: mathematics
You might want to check out gnuplot which is available for installation using the package manager.Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007

Re: mathematics
Beyond a shadow of a doubt, the best program you can use for math is SAGE.
It contains gunplot, maxima (which is good on its own), and several other numerical and symbolic math engines, integrated into a smooth notebook type interface running in FireFox. There is documentation, tutorials, videos and a link to an online demo (groundhog) of it. (The sagenb demo is offline.)
There are also tutorial and example videos on YouTube.
P.S.: I forgot the wiki: http://wiki.sagemath.org/
And, some interactive examples: http://wiki.sagemath.org/interact

Re: mathematics
Huh, I'll be darned. SAGE looks pretty neat with some basic functionality in abstract algebra (e.g., groups and rings). How fun it would be to develop some of that stuff.
At first, I was thinking along the lines of a high-powered calculator, like Qalculate!
