Qalculate! is a multi-purpose cross-platform desktop calculator library (libqalculate) with a CLI program (qalc) and GTK/Qt frontends. It combines everyday calculation tools with advanced features like symbolic math, unit conversion, arbitrary precision, and plotting.
Use cases
- convert units and currencies from the command line
- solve equations and compute integrals symbolically
- calculate with arbitrary precision and uncertainty propagation
- do quick percent and everyday calculations
- plot mathematical functions
- embed a powerful math engine in other applications
When to choose
- you need a powerful calculator with symbolic algebra and unit handling
- you want a CLI calculator for scripting or quick terminal math
- you need a C++ math evaluation library with a rich function library
When to avoid
- you need a full computer algebra system like Mathematica or SymPy for heavy symbolic work
- you need a simple four-function calculator with minimal dependencies
- you need matrix-heavy numerical computing like MATLAB or NumPy
