\subsection math-description Description

math is used to perform mathematical calcualtions. It is only a very
thin wrapper for the bc program, that makes it possible to specify an
expression from the commandline without using non-standard extensions
or a pipeline. Simply use a command like <code>math 1+1</code>. 

For a description of the syntax supported by math, see the manual for
the bc program.
