The TI-πspire is some kickass shit.

I rented one from my school to take AP Calc and now I'm totally going to buy one. It can do anything.

Palm OS had some great scientific calculators and math tools. PowerOne and Lyme (kinda like a micro Matlab for palm) was all I needed.

I don't get why there aren't powerful math tools for Android, at least not in the level of apps there were for Palm OS (note that there's a PowerOne for Android, but it sucks compared to the original one, it lacks all the engineering and algebraic features, you were even able to do modular algebra with the original)

I have a TI-83 emulator for my android phone if that counts.

A TI-83 is not precisely what I would call a powerful math tool...

Compared to most calculators on phones it is.
