There is a port to linux on sourceforge CVS, but I never got the required lisp stuff to work properly, but I didn't really try hard. or http://musica.sourceforge.net/ Never tried it, but with your math background it might be interesting: from their site: "What is Musica? Musica is an open source project that aims at the creation of a complete Mathematica package for the exploration of the interconnection between Mathematics and Music.
