About:
Calc is a high-precision, interactive calculator that supports arbitrary precision arithmetic. It offers a rich set of mathematical functions and a C-like syntax, making it suitable for complex scientific and engineering computations.

Key Features:

Arbitrary precision arithmetic
Interactive and scriptable modes
Extensive library of mathematical functions

Use Cases:

Scientific and engineering calculations
Financial computations requiring high precision
Scripting complex mathematical operations

Alternatives:

bc – Standard Unix calculator with arbitrary precision, but less feature-rich than calc
python3 – General-purpose language with math libraries, heavier than calc for simple calculations
