Involved Projects and Packages
KSociograma is a technical software for teachers. It allows you to make sociograms, a 2-D network sociological diagram, for a group of students. It is very useful to know the group and prevention.
This version is a stable version, but only with traslations to english, german and spanish.
Kst is the fastest real-time large-dataset viewing and plotting tool available and has basic data analysis functionality. Kst contains many powerful built-in features and is expandable with plugins and extensions.
KTechLab is an Open Source Intergated Design Environment (IDE) for electronic and PIC microcontroller circuit design and simulation.
Featuring an extensive circuit designer with autorouting and simulation of many common electronic components and logic elements, KTechLab is the idea tool for educational or hobbyist use.
KTechLab features an easy to use, flowchart based PIC program designer - Flowcoder; along with a BASIC like programming language called Microbe. Programs designed by these tools can be added to any circuit design as a 'virtual' PIC allowing complex microcontroller based circuits to be created.
KTechLab supports a wide range of Open Source PIC programmers, enabling finalised PIC programs to be quickly and easily transfered to a real PIC microcontroller.
This package is based on the package 'latex-beamer' from project 'openSUSE:Factory'.
The beamer class is a LaTeX class that allows you to create a beamer
presentation. It can also be used to create slides. It behaves
similarly to other packages like Prosper, but has the advantage that it
works together directly with pdflatex, but also with dvips.
Once you have installed the beamer class, the basic steps to create a
beamer presentation are the following:
* Specify beamer as document class instead of article.
* Structure your LaTeX text using \section and \subsection commands.
* Place the text of the individual slides inside \frame commands.
* Run pdflatex on the text (or latex and dvips).
The beamer class has several useful features: You don't need any
external programs to use it other than pdflatex, but it works also with
dvips. You can easily and intuitively create sophisticated overlays.
Finally, you can easily change the whole slide theme or only parts of
it.
pgf stands for `portable graphics format'. It is a TeX macro package
that allows you to create graphics in your TeX documents using a special
pgfpicture environment and special macros for drawing lines, curves,
rectangles, and many other kind of graphic objects. Its usage closely
resembles the pstricks package or the normal picture environment of
LaTeX.
Although pgf is less powerful than \pstricks, it has the advantage that
it can generate both PostScript output and pdf output from the same
file. The pgf package works together both with dvips and pdftex. In
particular, packages that rely on pdftex or pdflatex (like some packages
for creating presentations) can be used together with pgf.
Lazarus is a free and open source Rapid Application Development tool for
the FreePascal compiler using the Lazarus component library - LCL. The LCL
is included in this package.
libcaca is a graphics library that outputs text instead of pixels, so that it
can work on older video cards or text terminals. It is not unlike the famous
AAlib library, with the following improvements:
* Unicode support
* 2048 available colours (some devices can only handle 16)
* dithering of colour images
* advanced text canvas operations (blitting, rotations)
Libghemical is a software library which contains all of the computational chemistry functionality of the ghemical application.
This package is based on the package 'libmikmod' from project 'openSUSE:Factory'.
Libmikmod is a portable sound library, capable of playing samples as
well as module files. It was originally written by Jean-Paul Mikkers
(MikMak) for DOS. It supports OSS /dev/dsp, ALSA, and Esound and can
also write wav files. Supported file formats include mod, stm, s3m,
mtm, xm, and it.
Ghemical is a computational chemistry software package released under the
GNU GPL.
This package contains the backend stuff that is needed to run Ghemical.
LilyPond is a music typesetter, an automated engraving system. It
produces beautiful sheet music using a high level description file as input.
LilyPond supports many forms of music notation constructs, including
chord names, drum notation, figured bass, grace notes, guitar tablature,
modern notation (cluster notation and rhythmic grouping), tremolos,
(nested) tuplets in arbitrary ratios, and more.
LilyPond's text-based music input language support can integrate into
LaTeX, HTML and Texinfo seamlessly, allowing single sheet music
or musicological treatises to be written from a single source. Form and
content are separate, and with LilyPond's expert automated formatting,
users don't need typographical expertise to produce good notation.
LilyPond produces PDF, PostScript, SVG, or TeX printed output, as well
as MIDI for listening pleasures. LilyPond is exported from the
RoseGarden and NoteEdit GUIs, and can import ABC, ETF and MIDI.
Little Wizard is a GTK+ development environment for children.
For software developers, MathRider can be thought of as a mathematics-oriented
IDE. For non-developers, MathRider can be thought of as an education-friendly
Super Scientific Calculator (SSC) for performing numeric and symbolic
computations.
Maxima is a full symbolic computation program. It is full featured
doing symbolic manipulation of polynomials, matrices, rational
functions, integration, Todd-coxeter, graphing, bigfloats. It has a
symbolic debugger source level debugger for maxima code. Maxima is
based on the original Macsyma developed at MIT in the 1970's. It is
quite reliable, and has good garbage collection, and no memory leaks.
It comes with hundreds of self tests.
Metadot Portal Server is a popular website builder software widely used by schools and educational institutions.
Metadot is used by leading institutions such as MIT, Berkeley, The University of Minnesota, and many other smaller schools and school districts.
LaTeX math expressions to anti-aliased GIF images converter
mimeTex parses LaTeX math expressions emitting directly GIF images
without intermediate dvi-to-gif conversion.
mimeTex is a standalone program that doesn't use TeX in any way, a kind
of lightweight alternative to MathML.
Mnemosyne resembles a traditional flash-card program but with an
important twist: it uses a sophisticated algorithm to schedule the best
time for a card to come up for review.
Moodle is a course management system (CMS) - a free, Open Source
software package designed using sound pedagogical principles, to help
educators create effective online learning communities.
This package is a so called "virtual" package, as it contains no real
sources - but instead recommends the latest moodle package available.
This package is based on the package 'moodle' from project 'openSUSE:Factory'.

MPQC is the Massively Parallel Quantum Chemistry Program. It computes properties of atoms and molecules from first principles using the time independent Schrödinger equation.
Multiplication Station will teach your child to add, subtract and multiply...
Guaranteed!
The new administrator GUI simplifies configuration of number ranges and
operators. The built-in data recorder functionality allows teachers (or
parents) to track student progress and perform quantitative performance
assessment. The built-in countdown timer discourages laziness. The
high-score display encourages friendly competition among students.
