That is one of the oddities of (Ubuntu)OOo - for some reason they've
decided that Draw should be in the Applications|Graphics menu, and Math
should be called OpenOffice.org Formula is in Applications|Other. IF you
don't see it, right click on Applications & select "Edit Menus" and look
for 'OpenOffice.org Formula' and check the 'Show' box. In Hardy they put
Math (again calling it "Formula") in Applications|Office but it's
unchecked - so you have to track it down and uncheck it.

I've given up trying to figure out why they do this, as when you install
standard OOo and StarOffice, all of the suite's pacakages get installed
in Applications|Office.
