Math Terminal Tools
Math at the command line covers quick arithmetic, unit conversion, plotting and symbolic work, including arbitrary precision arithmetic for cases where floating point is not accurate enough.
Unix has shipped calculators for decades, among them bc and dc, and newer terminal tools add expression history, variables, units and graphs to the same idea. Developers, students and engineers use them to keep a calculator in the shell next to the rest of their work.
