Fedora 12 includes a range of packages for science and mathematics.

R

R and many of it's subpackages have been updated to the latest versions. There are a large number of new features which are described in detail on the project's mailing list: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-announce/2009/thread.html.
