What made you choose LaTeX for the tool?
It seems like it wouldn't be too hard (maybe?) to get a proper algebra engine to assign variables. Currently you can do `x = 10` but you can't do `x / 2 = 5`. I feel like this would be very helpful since you're using this for scientific calculations.
It could then be possible to extend that further and leave the variable undefined if it doesn't (yet) have enough information to solve it. Then it could theoretically be used to solve simultaneous equations.

About proper algebraic stuff, it is a long term goal to have at least a basic polynomial solver, but I've no experience in the area and I'm not sure how far it can go.
