"Description: Arbitrary precision calculator (original name: calc)
 Calc is an arbitrary precision arithmetic system that uses a C-like
 language. Calc is useful as a calculator, an algorithm prototyper and
 as a mathematical research tool. More importantly, calc provides one with
 a machine independent means of computation. Calc comes with a rich set
 of builtin mathematical and programmatic functions."

There is also bc and dc, hopefully these will be able to match the
features you need.
