Actually, do look at http://drgenius.seul.org/

The goals of this calculator are very similiar though it tries to go for even
a larger audience.  I would like it to become a nice tool to do even higher
level math (which is already does somewhat).  It will do graphing (both 2d
and 3d) and it already does a bunch of eclidian geometry.  The engine will
handle a math like looking input and is fully programmable.
