Emacs' calc can also be surprisingly powerful. Not quite at the level of Maxima, but still perfectly capable of basic symbolic algebra and calculus, arbitrary precision arithmetic, linear algebra, and other good things.
I use it quite heavily since it's right there in my editor. It's kind of like a good-enough phone camera that's always close at hand vs. a dedicated camera that's better but takes more effort to have ready.
