I do a lot of heavy math programming. Often there is a need to check some calculations “by hand”, specifically while debugging. Do have good experience with some calculator tool (preferably not with gui buttons like windows calc). It could even be a programming language I guess, such as matlab. I like matlab, but I’m looking for something more lightweight here. Any ideas?
I like jumping into Python whenever I want to run some quick math calculations, and there are nice numeric libraries for the language if you have complex work to type through. Consider what you need.
If you use the latest version of Python (3.1), you may want to use this updated tutorial for Python’s math.
