With 'Calc' {you can get e.g. via Menu
[Tools] -> [Programmable Calculator] }
"ESS" gets a new meaning:
now "Emacs Speaks Statistics" by itself (similarly to Excel and
similar atrocities):
Combinatorics, Linear Regression, Gamma, Beta, Bessel, Erf()
functions etc are all included in Emacs.
Just so it remains faithful to being "a portable OS" running on
all platforms ;=)
and "of course", no need for R anymore either, since Emacs "has
it all" ;-) ;-)
