Jedi math hardly has a math dependancy, at least the last time I looked,
it worked with FPC 1.9.x in a few minutes. (on FreeBSD)

I even got the _visual_ part to work with Lazarus, but that was more an
empty form.

Other possibilities:
- there is numlib in the packages somewhere. crude, but if you need a few
	routines, snatching it from there would work. It's more linear
	algegra tho.
- I once wrote a unit symbolic that can derive an expression
	(it can also evaluate expressions. Jedi Math's parser borrows
	from it)~
- TP style tehre always is:

  They also have a FPC/Delphi/GPC version
- Looking here might also bring you something
