   What about Calc (.el)?

   It's amazing and I think I read that it's supposed to have 80% of the
   capabilities of Mathematica, including plotting with GNU Plot.

   It's the largest lisp program I've actually used! (over 1MB)

This sounds interesting! Where can I find it? Does it come with the
standard distribution?

BTW. What about programs like Macsyma and Reduce? They were written in
Lisp and if they were available as PD sw they could become pretty
useful now that there are PD Common Lisps available.
