SpeedCrunch: A classy features-rich keyboard-driven calculator for scientists and enthusiasts
I have been never a fan of classical calculators user-interface, therefor I am always looking for and using command-line calculators.
SpeedCrunch is a lightweight calculator program without the traditional calculator buttons, It provides a simple powerful interface which make a use of the keyboard, mathematical terms and shortcuts and display results in interactive way as the user's type.
