  You might want to take a look at a program called "MathCAD".  It allows 
you to enter equations the way you really would just write them on paper.
It handles all sorts of graphing.  It has a rather free looking appearance.
(stuff is entered the way it would be written on paper or a blackboard)
but it does retain relationships between equations much in the same way 
a spreadsheet would.
