I am beginning to learn and love ubuntu. Is there any way to open files like .pdf, .jpeg, .odt, .docx etc. using command line?

For instance, I have a pdf named: 9949107741MathFormulas.pdf in the following directory:

jitendra@jitendra:~/Downloads/Math.Formulas.and.Tables.8.Retail$

when I go to above directory type 9949107741MathFormulas.pdf to open it, I get the message:

9949107741MathFormulas.pdf: command not found

Please advise, how can this task be accomplished?

You fist need to ask the application to open it. For pdf, you can call "evince".

Example command:

evince example.pdf
