This is old but it randomly appeared on the Top Questions list, and I can't help recommending Spacetime. While Octave/Sage/GeoGebra/Matplotlib-and-friends, etc. are quite a bit more powerful, spacetime feels a lot more like your Ti calculator: you can do basic things like plotting, fitting lines, evaluating eigenvalues, etc. very quickly and easily, without having to learn much syntax at all. It also has an iphone version which is a whole load cheaper than a Ti calculator, but probably quite a bit more powerful :)
