Are there any Expression Calculators for Linux?

Hey Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knew of any Expression Calculators out there...that could at the very least do basic math operators along with trigonometric values. 

What I mean by an expression calculator is simply being able to type 5*2/3-7 and get a result smile  Basically I'm looking for the Linux equivalent of the Microsoft PowerToys Power Calculator smile ... I know you can type in type in the keys into a calculator such as galculator, but I'd also like to see the expression first.

Python handles this, including complex numbers:

dusty:~ $ python
Python 2.4 (#1, Feb 22 2005, 16:26:12)
[GCC 3.4.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> 5*2/3-7
-4
>>>
