Unfortunately, neither of them exists for FreeBSD.

For my needs (PhD thesis in stochastic image processing) a combination
of Octave and gnuplot worked quite well - for matrix number crunching
and display, that is. Both of them are on the CD set. There are a few
more tools for numerical mathematics that run on FreeBSD: mupad,
scilab,... aswell as tools to display the results: ace/gr, ...
Unfortunately, there's no free tool for symbolic mathematics. I always
ended up using Maple on a Solaris machine.

PS: If you do mostly numeric mathematics, Matlab (the commercial
version) is the tool of choice!
