Integrated command line math

I thought the same thing until I got to the part where the author used

  from math import *

Which gives you significantly more options.

I love this idea, I have always found math in the command line to be clunky.

That is true, but I have found if I am doing calculations that need something like the full math library of python, it's not a one-off calculation, and I am typically on octave anyway.

In any case, since I have emacs open all time, I usually do

  M-x calc

for one-off calculations.

I just evaluate random lisp in my buffers, sometimes evaluating it to output directly there. Ah emacs!

I do that too, with textadept & Lua instead of Emacs & elisp.
