A more functional command-line calculator
Authored by: lsequeir on Jul 10, '07 06:00:05AM

I occasionally use bc, but I would also suggest another alternative: using CalcService, you can type your expressions anywhere you can input text (at least in Cocoa applications).

Often I need a quick calculation as I'm typing in, say, TeXShop. No problem, just type it right in, select it and calculate (you can choose Calculate and Append, Calculate and Replace, Calculate and Show). With a keyboard shortcut, I don't even take my hands away from the keyboard.
