I often use Pari/GP:
http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/
Pari is a command line calculator with graphing capabilities. It was developed by Henri Cohen, a number theorist. It has an incredible number of functions, plus it can calculate really big numbers.
From the FAQ:
PARI/GP is a widely used computer algebra system designed for fast computations in number theory (factorizations, algebraic number theory, elliptic curves...), but also contains a large number of other useful functions to compute with mathematical entities such as matrices, polynomials, power series, algebraic numbers, etc., and a lot of transcendental functions.
