First compile and install PyQwt-Polar. It takes quite a while. Note that there's a conflict between PyQwt-Polar and python-qwt5-qt4 which may potentially be serious. A side-effect of this is that you can't build a proper package, since dpkg would detect this conflict (hence the make install). What this means is that PyQwt-Polar will over-write files installed by the python-qwt5-qt4 files i.e. A potentially Bad Thing. Consider setting it up in a chroot.
There's another reason why I wouldn't recommend miramath for serious work at the moment -- it is in pre-alpha and the degree to which is it maintained isn't entirely clear to me. For scientific work, use octave and maxima, which are well-maintained and have been around for ages.
The flip-side of this is obviously that there's no harm in checking out a new and interesting piece of software, and presumably no-one is preventing you from contributing. Anyway. The main reason for checking this out was the debian forum post referenced above.
I did this on Debian Jessie, but it should work on Wheezy as well.
