I was looking for a good and light calculator for Linux, and found some command line ones, I liked this one wcalc it is really light, and accept almost all mathematical expressions, and I say "almost" because I do not want to say that are all and make a mistake.
The use of it is really simple, just enter wcalc followed with the math expression in the command line, press ENTER and you will the result.
To install it on Debian run:
sudo aptitude install wcalc
and to calculate some simple operations:
wcalc '(200+200)/8*25/35.3553^2'
the result will be one, note that I am using ' to delimit the math expressions
The good thing is that it will also work with binary numbers.
wcalc -b 0b100+0b100
the result is:
= 0b1000
So the -b option make wcalc shows the result as binary and the 0b before the numbers says it that those numbers are binaries.
As you can see it is really useful, you may want to enter
man wcalc
to see some of the other options.

Tengo una calculadora TI-83 plus y tengo problemas para ampliar la memoria ya que yo trabajo topograf?a y a veces tengo que hacer c?lculos muy grandes. I have a calculatore TI-83 plus and I work surveying and some times I am doing greats calculings and I don't know how

I use this Great command line editor

a windows version does also exits
Rascal, the Advanced Scientific CALculator, is a platform independent modular calculator. Based on modules for integer, doubles, strings, vectors and matrices it can be easily extended with existing C or C++ code.
bc is another option. And of course, perl...
perl -e 'print 12+32;'
