### a lisp-based math language using polish notation

```
rpn> 1 2 + 2 sqrt
2> 3
1> 1.4142135623730950488
```

### with arbitrary precision
```
rpn> 256 prec 200 std
rpn> pi 3 * 4 / cos

```

### providing variables, programs
```
rpn> << rot * swap 2 / chs dup sq rot - sqrt >> 'quad' sto
rpn> << -> x y << x y + ln >> >> 'P' sto
```

### and a bunch of functions
