|---|---|---|---|
| Basic Calculator (bc) | bc is an interpreter that supports numbers of arbitrary precision and the interactive execution of statements. The syntax has some similarities to the C programming language. A standard math library is available through command line options. When used, the math library is read in before any other input files. bc then reads in all other files from the command line, evaluating their contents. Then bc reads from standard input (usually the keyboard). The dc program is also included. dc is a calculator that supports reverse-polish notation and allows unlimited precision arithmetic. Macros can also be defined. Normally, dc reads from standard input but can also read in files specified on the command line. A calculator with reverse-polish notation saves numbers to a stack. Arguments to mathematical operations (operands) are "pushed" onto the stack until the next operator is read in, which "pops" its arguments off the stack and "pushes" its results back onto the stack. |
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bc/ | The package contains bc and dc |

| geogebra | A dynamic mathematics software for education in secondary schools that joins geometry, algebra and calculus.
On the one hand, GeoGebra is a dynamic geometry system. You can do constructions with points, vectors, segments, lines, conic sections as well as functions and change them dynamically afterwards. On the other hand, equations and coordinates can be entered directly. Thus, GeoGebra has the ability to deal with variables for numbers, vectors and points, finds derivatives and integrals of functions and offers commands like Root or Extremum. These two views are characteristic of GeoGebra: an expression in the algebra window corresponds to an object in the geometry window and vice versa. |
