From the author's description:  
"MATCALC is an easy-to-use interactive matrix calculation package designed
for:
   easy solution of linear algebra and matrix problems involving
   either real or complex numbers,
   easy solution of systems of linear equations,
   teaching fundamental vector space and linear transformation ideas 
        at university undergraduate level,
   teaching modern computational methods of linear and matrix algebra,
   polynomial arithmetic,
   solution of matrix-related problems such as finding 
   zeroes of real or complex polynomials, 
   linear least-squares fits of multivariable models, etc.

"Basic commands are included for entering matrices, matrix arithmetic, 
adjoining matrices, selecting matrix elements, selecting rows or columns, 
and for creating special matrices."

The interface is a command-driven window, but there is extensive on-line
help for the user.  Also, a 70 page TeX manual is included.  

The program requires FPU, but is runs without difficulty on a PowerMac
with SoftwareFPU installed.
