I decided to use emacs calc for my School assignments instead of a TI calculator.

calc is my favorite calculator I have used; it is versatile and efficient. <details><summary>It has useful features that are not in other calculators that I have used.</summary>

<ul class=“feature_list”><li>I can comfortably perform Algebra. <ul> <li>I can automatically solve for a variable (through calc-solve-for; it saves so much time for me.</li></ul> <li>It can perform derivation and integration.</li> <li>calc can convert units.</li> <li>calc supports a lot of formats. <ul> <li style=“color:blue;”><i>Custom radix support!</i></li> <li>Easy support for time formats: Unix Time, Days, Months, Years; calc can even handle Julian calendars.<li> </ul></li> <li>GCD and LCM calculations.</li> </ul></details>

      Not sure about Emacs calc, but in Gnu calc you can just do more or less classic c-like loops.

      I.e. for ( i = 0; i < 10; ++i ) { ... } or while ( x != 10 ) { ... }
