<br>
For the last months I've been coding on an application in Playground called<br>
MathematiK(but I'm open for better name suggestions). It's a frontend for<br>
other free software mathematics projects, giving them a nice KDE-based<br>
Worksheet view like Maple or Mathematica offer. Lately it has matured quite a<br>
bit, so I decided to ask you for inclusion into the KDE Edu 4.4 release, it's<br>
not perfect yet, but following the "release early, release often" philosophy<br>
I'm really looking forward to get more people testing it. How do you think<br>
about this? What are the steps I have to make to get MathematiK included?<br>
<br>
Some of the current features are:<br>
- Nice Worksheet view for evaulating Expression<br>
- View of plotting results inside the worksheet<br>
- Easy plugin based structure to add different Backends<br>
- Backends for:<br>
- the Sage mathematics software (<a href="http://www.sagemath.org" target="_blank">http://www.sagemath.org</a>)<br>
- the Maxima Computer Algebra System (<a href="http://maxima.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">http://maxima.sourceforge.net/</a>)<br>
- the R project for Statistical computing (<a href="http://www.r-project.org/" target="_blank">http://www.r-project.org/</a>)<br>
- GetHotNewStuff integration to up/download example worksheets<br>
- Typesetting of mathematical formulas using LaTeX<br>
- Syntax highlighting depending on the chosen backend<br>
- Plugin based assistant dialogs for common tasks (like integrating a function<br>
or entering a matrix)<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
