+<longdescription>
+ Calc is an advanced calculator and mathematical tool that runs as part of
+ the GNU Emacs environment. Very roughly based on the HP-28/48 series of
+ calculators, its many features include:
+ * Choice of algebraic or RPN (stack-based) entry of calculations.
+ * Arbitrary precision integers and floating-point numbers.
+ * Arithmetic on rational numbers, complex numbers (rectangular and polar),
+ error forms with standard deviations, open and closed intervals, vectors
+ and matrices, dates and times, infinities, sets, quantities with units,
+ and algebraic formulas.
+ * Mathematical operations such as logarithms and trigonometric functions.
+ * Programmer's features (bitwise operations, non-decimal numbers).
+ * Financial functions such as future value and internal rate of return.
+ * Number theoretical features such as prime factorization and arithmetic
+ modulo M for any M.
+ * Algebraic manipulation features, including symbolic calculus.
+ * Moving data to and from regular editing buffers.
+ * "Embedded mode" for manipulating Calc formulas and data directly inside
+ any editing buffer.
+ * Graphics using GNUPLOT, a versatile (and free) plotting program.
+ * Easy programming using keyboard macros, algebraic formulas, algebraic
+ rewrite rules, or extended Emacs Lisp.
