[kde-edu]: An idea for a new application.

[Kalló Bernát]

Dear Miguel and KDE edu developers,

I've seen your idea about the program for teaching algebra. I like it 
very much, and I'm considering starting this project.

I'm 17 years old. I am a secondary student in a Maths class. I'm good at 
programming, but I've used few C++ and I've never developed in KDE, so 
I'll need some help.

I am not sure if I'll have much time to spend on the project this 
summer, but I'll try to do the best I can.
