In this category of computer aided mathematics or computer algebra systems,
there are also the packages sagemath, octave or scilab.
octave and scilab bring there own GUI.
sagemath and also python 3 or R can be used via jupyter notebook which is a kind
of browser based GUI.

If you liked doing calculations as in the HP 48, try the orpie program
