    I know this is "help" and for emacs as a program,

    sort of as a thanks,
    this is what I as a welder and bit of an engineer managed to do
    readily on finding there is a formula for calculating the value of
    pi...


    M-x calc

    this does take some time to get used to but it is a very god rpn
    calculator. It does algebra and other things.


    M-x calc

    in calc mode you can enter alibraic mode by using the ' character.

    1 <RET>
    '
    pi <RET>
    +
    = <RET>


    calc-mode is hard to use. there is excellent documentation for it in the
    emacs manual.
