calculator
package.
Summary description: Use LaTeX as a scientific calculator.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The calculator and calculus packages define several instructions which allow us
to realize algebraic operations and to evaluate elementary functions and
derivatives in our documents.
My main goal is to define the arithmetic and functional calculations need in my
package xpicture (http://www.upv.es/~rfuster/xpicture), but the numeric
abilities of calculator and calculus may be useful in other contexts.
