Ok...I know this question has been asked before. In fact, I participated in a few of the other posts of this question. But it never got solved. Just thought I'd bring it up again to see if anyone new knows anything. I'm looking for a graphing calculater application. It'd be nice to have something like ur standard TI-89 calculator. If anyone knows of something similar let me know!
Got a tip for us?

Having never used a TI-89, I'm not exactly sure...but isn't Grapher (Applications->Utilities) what you're looking for?

Sort of...I'm more just looking for a Scientific/Graphing calculator...something that I can put longer calculations into. It's nothing that I really NEED. I just think it would be more interesting than the boring old one that OSX comes with.
Let me clarify...I don't really need to graph...just want a graphing calculator or bigger scientific calculator like app. Yeah I'm confusing myself now...

How about this one written for Java?

Click on GCalc 3. You can download this to your hard drive and use it offline. I find it pretty good and a simple fix. Not sure if it will do what you are asking

Did you try Conspiracy? It was written by Craig Hockenberry of Iconfactory fame. It's a graphing application specifically for the iPhone so maybe that's not what you wanted, but I thought it worth a mention.

There's always Grapher.app, in your /Applications/Utilities folder, which does some things and produces reasonable plots and can do some numerical analysis. Good for simple things.
Alternatively there's a combination of python and a plotting frontend (e.g. gnuplot, matplotlib), or something like Mathematica for doing much more complex stuff.

this is definitely what you are looking for. it is a virtual computer algebra system
Out of curiosity I checked Amazon for graphing calculators. I was astounded they still cost between $30 and $200, new and used. Calculators are junk compared to what an iPod can do. (I know an iPod costs over $200, but still....)
Why aren't there more Apps for computing matrices, and all of the complex things a TI-85 can do?

Check out Console Calculator.
Console Calculator is a powerful calculator with a simple console interface. In addition to being a high-precision calculator (300+ bits of precision), it also support base conversion, units conversion, and much more. The interface is convenient and easy to use. Create your own variables and functions, recall previous entries, and quickly hide it with a keystroke. Many other conveniences are included that make Console Calculator a multi-function tool that engineers or software developers will appreciate.
Old thread, I know but many people like me use Google and see it.....
You already have this on your Mac. Bring up the terminal and type "bc" then hit return.
Then type "scale=10" to set the number of decimal places to 10 or whatever you like up to about 300.
Next try this
mary = 1.2345
john = 6.789
mary/john
.1818382677
sqrt(2)
1.4142135623
I think the OP may already have what he wants. It has been on most UNIX-likesystems for 20 years. Maybe longer.
