I think the intention is to type algebraic equations in a natural way instead of writing a program expressing the same equation.

Exactly. The aim is to be able to write, say, 'X^2-3*X+2' instead of LBL "FOO" MVAR "X" RCL "X" X^2 LASTX 3 * - 2 + END. But how exactly that should work is what I'm trying to figure out.

CAS is also a possibility, if I can find a suitable library to do the heavy lifting. But it's not the main objective at this point.
