Integrated command line math

Or, if you're on OS X, you can just use Spotlight. It includes trig functions, factorials, exponents, etc, and it's only a command-space away. The only downside is that it doesn't automatically copy the result into your clipboard.

I'm surprised that pressing enter on the result in Spotlight doesn't copy it to the clipboard. Amusingly, it opens up the Calculator which I never need after getting the answer.
