There is a very interesting project, Genius Calculator, this is right
now a multiprecision line oriented calculator with Gnome GUI also. The
good points are that it comes with a easy to use/math oriented script
language (GEL) :
for exemple the expression like (1<x<8) is a valid boolean expression.
Also the author want to implement plug in for it.
It may be more easy to jump with your work in this project as the Genius
Calculaor has not yet derivation algo or graphing facilities.
Also you will don't need to worry with GTK code.


I will use it to add math scripting facility to Dr Geo
