I don't know that there is a specific hidden calculator feature in MW but you 
can type things 
like the following in the Command Center and MW responds as a calculator when 
you press enter:  

show 1 + 1
2

show 5 * 8
40

show 5 * 8 + 1
41

show 5 * (8 + 1)
45

show 1 / 7
0.142857142857

show power 2 10
1024

show sin 90
1

show pi
3.14159265359

The third Quick Reference Card has two sections of math
related functions:

Section 33. Arithmetic
Section 36. Math Functions
