You don't need to know anything about Ruby, in fact the command I  
mentioned in the previous email computes 1/1e-1 just fine. All you  
have to do is look up the names of the standard commands in that ruby  
help page I linked to, so that you know what to call, i.e. that log()  
is for logarithms log10() for base 10 logarithms etc. If you give us  
a list of the kind of simple math you want to do, and how ideally you  
would like to type them in, we can offer a better suggestion I think  
(though I am fairly certain that the ruby command as it stands will  
already cover most if not all of them).
