Is there any MatCat Clone for N800?

Octave seems to be very buggy, and has no GUI (or do i misuse it?)

Octave doesn't have a GUI.

I've compiled mathomatic and yacas (both just need the standard "./configure && make"). I've also tried giac/xcas, but that results in compiler errors and/or segfaults.

I can't seem to find the .debs for those, but will dig them out if your toolchain isn't up and running.

I've compiled mathomatic too ... and i ve a package

Is there nothing with a GUI for the lazy guys?

A CAS on the N800 would be great!

Before giving up and buying a TI nSpire a month ago, I did some survey on the existing CAS OSS projects and ended concluding that a GNU TeXmacs port to N800 would be probably a wiser place to start. It's not a CAS itself, but it can be used as a GUI frontend to many CAS, like Maxima or Yacas, and also GNU Octave.

Not to mention that you would also get a WYSIWYG word processor as a side effect, something N800 users would kill for...

mathomatic seems to be a console-only program. It is ok for me to use console, but if i need it in an exam it would take too much time ...

Texmacs looks nice.

I will install it on my PC, and test it

I have a CASIO CFX-9850 GB Plus, which has no CAS.
lybniz goes to the right direction, but it is not effective enough for harder mathematic-calculation.

@Alfabeta You would kill for a word processor? I would kill for CAS

Any of you lot programmers?

I started writing a generic calculator frontend in Python with numeric/alphanumeric/fn keys that can be selected depending on what backend you want to use.

It appears to work (with yacas), but isn't all that pretty. What I really need is a way to PrettyPrint mathematical notation using Python.

Any ideas?
