PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
========================
Expression is essentially a freeware graphing calculator. It can parse and evaluate multi-line textual numeric expressions, plot functions, store and recall variables, automatically recalculate and display expressions and even do molar mass calculations involving the Periodic Table of Elements. Expressions can be entered with the keyboard or mouse and are saved with their result for further viewing or use. This program is very customizable and easy to use. Best of all, source code is available on my web site if you want to modify the program.

The program can be distributed freely under the terms of the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2, June 1991 available at www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html or from my web site.
