kalk VS libqalculate

There's also https://kalker.xyz. Not as powerful, but convenient syntax

I have been waiting for an alternative to rug for kalker for a long time now. I think this might be it soon.

For simple use-cases, I made a program called kalker which handles syntax like f(x) = 2ax(x + 2)(a - sqrt2) with syntax highlighting in the REPL and auto completion to mathematical symbols. In many cases you can write math like you would write it on paper. Right now I'm about to release support for vectors, matrices and numerical root-finding.

1) a scientific calculator with history and variables with a UI similar to https://sourceforge.net/projects/alt1-calculator/ that also can do units like https://qalculate.github.io/ 2) a tiny text chat direct message program that is similarly as easily accessible at Atl1 3) a minimalist dock of as many instances you would like similar to https://punklabs.com/rocketdock, and like where WIN opens the start menu, WIN + # should pop the dock

But unfortunately gravity is the first unit that I find is not supported :(

There's some talk about using g0 here https://github.com/Qalculate/libqalculate/issues/498 but that doesn't work in my version (I'm using an old version, hoping to update my OS this week). You can divide it by earth gravity if you know it by heart, though

    > 100 km/h / 0.956 s / 9.8 m/s^2

I personally use Qalculate (https://qalculate.github.io/), specifically their CLI version for this purpose. I'm not sure how well it compares to GNU Units, but it works well enough for my needs; and it's fairly simple using English-like syntax.

On the terminal, I use `qalc`[1]. It's a nice natural language calculator that does arithmetic, solves quadratic equations/linear systems, does unit conversions and even a bit of calculus. Combine it with a cli graphing tool and you can do pretty cool things.

Anything more complicated I'm probably ok with latency, so I open up wolframalpha and enter it there, again, in natural language.

Btw, download qalculate.github.io and play around with it a bit. I use it for basically all the physics I do. Complete lifesaver.

Personally I use http://qalculate.github.io/ since I end up having to do unit conversions often, it's pretty handy for that

Btw: http://qalculate.github.io/ is nice. I use CLI version to fix my general math incompetence. Even does units nicely, for example, "how long it would take to download 82GB game on 50Mbit connection":

Mate Calculator: Seems a bit basic, when you can do so much more with Qalculate! https://qalculate.github.io/
