Anyone know if there is such a piece of software that will run in Ubuntu without a problem without having Wine running?

If you prefer FOSS, you might want to try http://www.octave.org/ - it's an open source Matlab clone. I never tried it so I can't say how good it is.

Matlab runs great in Ubuntu without wine, there's a native version for Linux.

Do you have a link, cause i can't find it in Synaptic.

Matlab isn't in the repositories because it's not free (as in beer). If I remember correctly even the student licences are quite expensive.

hehe, matlab in the repos :-) matlab is VERY expensive :-) there's a lot in ubuntu's repositories, but they still lack proprietary 1K dollar software... Anyway, there is an open source clone, octave, and a free software, scilab.
