math - Is there a calculator with LaTeX-syntax?

When I write math in LaTeX I often need to perform simple arithmetic on numbers in my LaTeX source, like 515.1544 + 454 = ???.

I usually copy-paste the LaTeX code into Google to get the result, but I still have to manually change the syntax, e.g.

frac{154,7}{25} - (289 - frac{1337}{42})

must be changed to

154,7/25 - (289 - 1337/42)

It seems trivial to write a program to do this for the most commonly used operations. Is there a calculator which understand this syntax?

EDIT: I know that doing this perfectly is impossible (because of the halting problem). Doing it for the simple cases I need is trivial. frac, cdot, sqrt and a few other tags would do the trick. The program could just return an error for cases it does not understand.
