If this is appealing, it may be worth checking out the "Embedded Mode"
of Emacs calc [1].  From what I can tell on the calc.io website, Emacs
calc provides the same functionality, but Emacs calc has the benefits of
(1) it is open source meaning you can confirm calculations and your
answers (in my opinion a must for any peer reviewed publication), and
(2) it may be embedded in *any* type of file.

Yes, you can use calc embedded mode in Org-mode files as well.
