c-formula

c-formula allows you to access common formulas used in math and solve for the unknowns in those formulas. The full list of formulas you can use is available at the bottom of this page. You can suggest a new formula to be added with the c-report command.

Here is a nice GIF that demonstrates the use of c-formula to solve for a variable:
