  • CalcuLaTeX

    A pretty printing calculator language with support for units. Makes calculations easier and more presentable with real time LaTeX output, along with support for units, variables, and mathematical functions.

  • Hey HN, I created CalcuLaTeX because I was frustrated with my workflow for chemistry and physics homework. Generally, I'd use the Python REPL as a calculator and type each problem into LaTeX to turn it in. CalcuLaTeX merges these two steps and makes it easier to reason about calculations by real time visual feedback.

    I've posted on r/rust as well (https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/lqn5aa/calculatex_a_p...), and there seems to be interest in using it for scientific papers and such.

    The only alternative I know of is PTC MathCAD, which is quite powerful and definitely worth looking into. However, it's quite expensive and Windows only.

    The main repo (a Rust library and basic CLI) can be found here: https://github.com/mkhan45/CalcuLaTeX

    The website repo using WASM and very hacky JS can be found here: https://github.com/mkhan45/CalcuLaTeX-Web
