+** Calculator
+Surprise, surprise Emacs comes with a calculator.  At this point there
+is little that surprises me in terms of Emacs' amazing capabilities.
+
+=calc-mode= is a calculator system within Emacs that provides an
+incredible array of mathematical operations.  It uses reverse polish
+notation to do calculations (though there is a standard infix
+algebraic notation mode) and provides incredible utilities.

+*** Calctex
+=calc-mode= also has a 3rd party package called =calctex=. It renders
+mathematical expressions within calc as if they were rendered in TeX.
+You can also copy the expressions in their TeX forms, which is pretty
+useful when writing a paper.  I've set a very specific lock on this
+repository as it's got quite a messy work-tree and this commit seems to
+work for me given the various TeX utilities installed via Arch.
