Best basic/intuitive mathematics software?

[Axmann]

I've used Mathematica, and I find it really counter-intuitive. It's really complex for the user who isn't accustomed to math software, and doing simple mathematic functions, like addition/division/multiplication, etc. is insanely complex with Mathematica.

Now, I know that a calculator is better-suited to those kinds of functions, but I'd like a piece of software that can do simple things, you know, simply.

Any recommendations?

No offense, but why is it really complex to type "(2 + 3) / 4" and press Evaluate?

You are going to have to learn the particulars of syntax for any piece of math software on the market. I find Mathematica to be perfectly simple.
