As per silbe's comments on IRC, I'm leaning towards duplicating the two modules inside of the Speak activity. Such duplicating in common case is not good idea (but could optimal option in case of Calculate modules). Anyway what about creating libmath (or so) and patch Speak (at least) and Calculate to use this lib. In case of Speak, it is already using 0sugar dependecies[1]. You can create separate project on git like libjournal[2]. Only libmath string will be added[3] to [1] to use libmath in Speak. 0sugar is not yet ready for broad usage but it can work in case of libmath.

Then I realised that I would just make a poor replication of the parser evaluator that's already been created. Thoughts/comments welcome.

This is great Tim, this is one of the features that we would like to see on Speak for some time now. I've heard these ideas by professors that we have been working with in Bogotá, Colombia.
