Extcalc – scientific graphic calculator

Extcalc is a scientific graphic calculator released under an open source license.

Extcalc is able to process difficult mathematical functions, to draw graph and to work with them. All standard mathematical operations can be calculated using its attractive graphical frontend, together with more advanced mathematics including calculus.

The software can draw different types of 2D and 3D graphics with OpenGL acceleration.

Extcalc also provides an integrated C-like script programming language.

There is also a console version developed by the developer called Concalc. It is the parser-algorithm of extcalc packed into a simple console program.
