I'm looking for lightweight, free, Windows, Math software.
Something I can put an expression and get an answer, or graph it.
I tried Euler, but it is quiet complicated and HUGE.
Basic needs:

  1. Expression Based
  2. Supports Variables
  3. Support Functions, User defined and auto loaded.
  4. Supports graphs, 2D. Not really needing 3D.
  5. Supports History.

What do you use? What do you recommend?

    "Math software" is a very general term, which encompasses computer algebra systems like Maxima and Mathematica, numerical computing environments like Matlab, and basic graphing calculators. It sounds like you want the third kind.2010-10-27

    It sounds like you're not primarily focused on symbolic math, but yacas is a lightweight symbolic math program: http://yacas.sourceforge.net/homepage.html2012-01-05

    Is "Wiscy" still around? (I have a version which is stil working) It seems to be designed as just what you are asking for... ("Pocket"-calculator like but expressions, variables, functions definable, graphics - all in one simple executable). (update: seems no more supported but possibly on some web-archive. see https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/bit.listserv.calc-ti/l9EbI8u6U8g )2013-12-04
