The industry standard (in my industry) software to do that is MathCad, of which version 15 is the peak release. Although not maintained anymore, it is still used a lot today. Because it is not maintained anymore, it doesn't change and has been the same for the past ~15 years.

A free, still maintained, alternative of that is smathhttps://en.smath.com/view/SMathStudio/summary, which also has a cloud option.

Oh, I miss MathCad, I wish we had a decent FOSS clone.

I find Julia’s Pluto to be reasonably close alternative.

Of course it lacks many features, but plugins systems and overall architecture gives hope for possible extension to include many of the desired features.

Wait, Mathcad is unmaintained? What happened?

It became Mathcad Prime that is still maintained and had a release this year.

Which is your industry, if you don't mind me asking?

In that space, https://blockpad.net/ is interesting also
