Julia's math library is starting to shape up:

http://docs.julialang.org/en/latest/stdlib/base/#mathematica...

It even has a digamma, Riemann zeta, and Bessel functions with fractional orders, which you won't find in Excel.

The statistics built-ins are a bit weak, however.

Have you looked at the various statistics-related packages? We moved most of the statistics stuff (and may other areas as well) into packages.

What's missing from the statistics built-ins?
