OTHER GOOD STUFF

http://math.exeter.edu/rparris/

Peanut Software is a free suite of mathematical programs available for download.

The program I am most familiar with is WINDISC. It allows calculation of Powerindices, (Bahnzaf and Shapley-Shubik) as well as many apportionment methods (with apropos examples of electoral college etc)
Also plenty of stuff here to support any undergraduate course in graph theory.

Also there is WINSTATS which covers from simple simulations of probability experiments up to any topic I am aware of that is presented in an undergraduate course on elementary probability and statistics.

WINPLOT allows all sorts of function plotting including parametric plots. (includes 3d)

WINLAB has animated graphics and mappings of the plane into the plane showing domain plane and range plane in separate windows. (2D vector functions)

WINGEOM allows viewing of 3d polyhedra and more.

WINMAT will get a student through undergraduate linear algebra.

WINARC is packed with various math games.

And more, and more.
