As someone mentioned, Python comes with excellent math
support. All you need to do is install Python, make a few
obvious changes to the make file and you'll have a Python
enabled Vim.
Once you get tired of typing:
:py print 12.0/7
you can define:
:com! -nargs=* PC py print <args>
and now type:
:PC 12.0/7, 9 ** 20
