How about using JavaScript?

<p>This is my attribute: ^get(userAttribute)^</p>
<p>
     <script type="text/javascript">
         document.write("This is my attribute + attribute: " + (^get
(userAttribute)^ + ^get(userAttribute)^));
     </script>
</p>
<p>
     <script type="text/javascript">
         document.write("This is my attribute x 2: " + (^get
(userAttribute)^ * ^get(userAttribute)^));
     </script>
</p>

I've not tested it but it should work. This way you can perform any
kind of arbitrary math that JavaScript can perform.
