The goal for this page is to collect material around the ideas discussed at [Helen Faulkner's talk http://dc5video.debian.net/2005-07-17/Using_Debian_for_science_research-Helen_Faulkner.mpeg] at [wiki:?DebConf5Talks Debconf5].
Some ideas emerging from Helen's talk
(please complete)
The dedicated mailing list [http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/ debian-science] has been created [http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2005/07/msg00000.html thanks to Pascal Hakim].
DebianScience could also be a [wiki:CustomDebian CDD project].
It could also be turned into a ["LiveCD"]. [http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/quantian/ Quantian] already does much of this.
- Development frameworks (should be painless):
- kdevelop for KDE
- Anjuta for Gnome
- Is Octave really usable? The main differences or missing features with respect to Matlab should be documented.
- Easy and simple tools to plot data (possibly separate by scriptable and/or gui, plotting for papers vs for 'exploring' data)
- gnuplot
- python is good at that
- labplot is a nice gui plotter that handles 3D data
- openoffice.org calc can be used to plot 2D data
[http://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/Grace/ xmgrace] (from xmgr/ace) seems popular here for 2D publication-quality plotting
- GNU R is a free implementation of the S programming language for statistical analysis. It is very useful for data visualization and other computational science tasks.
- Necessity of a good Fortran integration
- Useful tools for writing papers - word processing and LaTeX
- kile (KDE late editor)
- openoffice.org (office suite - good but not 100% ["MSOffice"] filters)
- Useful mathematical libraries
- FFTW and ["FFTW3"] (Fast Fourier Transforms)
- ATLAS and LAPACK (Linear Algebra)
- GSL (special functions, pseudorandom numbers, optimizers, solvers, etc. etc.)
