Interesting suggestions. Note that there is a feature freeze right now (in order to release lyx 1.5) so development of anything new will have to wait for the release. Please come back with suggestions, or file "wihlist items" at bugzilla.lyx.org

- a compute and plot toolbar.
There is no plot (other than the option of including graphichs produced by other means), but computations are definitely possible - even in lyx 1.4 Did you try the menu "edit->math->use Computer Algebra System" ? This menu is available when the cursor is inside a formula. It will pass the formula to the math app of your choice (octave/maxima/mathematica/maple) and re-import whatever result that app gets. Here is a calculus example: Enter d/dx x^3 in LyX edit->math->computer algebra->maxima The formula changes to d/dx x^3 = 3x^2 You will probably run into some limitations, the above example works with \frac, it does not work if you use the slash-key to enter the fraction.
