calc
Calc is arbitrary precision arithmetic system that uses a C-like language. It's useful as a calculator, an algorithm prototype, and as a mathematical research tool. More importantly, calc provides a machine-independent means of computation. Calc comes with a rich set of builtin mathematical and programmatic functions.

Release Notes: This release updates the RPM build process, makes libraries chmodded as 0644 to allow for building rpms without root, adds a gvec.cal resource script, adds a calc-symlink make rule to setup symlinks from standard locations into a tree specified by a non-empty ${T} makefile variable, adds calc-unsymlink to remove any symlinks which may have been created by the calc-symlink rule, and fixes a bug uncovered in calc which caused script failures when calc was called within a while loop in BASH if the while loop was fed from stdin, due to calc's redirection/inheritance of stdin and no option to change this behavior.

CoolThing! (tm) :))
Calc is really nice thing, I use it for a long time (several years).
It is perfect for casual use (as a replacement for traditional 'bc')
and for more sophisticated use.
And what is really nice - it is maintained again (since long time of
"free flight").
Test it - and you'll forget about 'bc' forever :))
