Freeware for serious college students

One great way to get the most bang for your buck in college is to get the most out of your computer. I found some great freeware that is useful for college students. Most of the web sites that list freeware seem to focus on ways to play on your computer. However, these apps are more for the serious student.

It is completely free, but does take a little practice to get familiar with. It can take you from pre-algebra classes all the way though statistical calculations.
