DESCRIPTION

12       Qalculate!  is a multi-purpose cross-platform desktop calculator. It is
13       simple to use but provides power and versatility normally reserved  for
14       complicated  math  packages, as well as useful tools for everyday needs
15       (such as currency conversion and percent calculation). Features include
16       a  large  library of customizable functions, unit calculations and con‐
17       version, physical constants, symbolic calculations (including integrals
18       and  equations), arbitrary precision, uncertainty propagation, interval
19       arithmetic, plotting, and a user-friendly interface.  qalc is the  com‐
20       mand line interface of Qalculate!.
