This is a list of metapackages. The links are leading to the respective bugs page.

Astronomy - Debian Science Astronomy packages (424^*)

This metapackage will install Debian Science packages related to Astronomy. You might also be interested in field::astronomy debtag and, depending on your focus, in the education-astronomy metapackage.

Astronomy-dev - Debian Science Astronomy-dev packages (3^*)

This metapackage will install Debian Science packages which might be helpful for development of applications for Astronomy. Please note that packages listed as "recommended" may not be installed by default, and that packages listed as "suggested" will not be installed unless the user asks for them to be installed.

You might also be interested in the science-astronomy metapackage.

Biology - Debian Science Biology packages (9^*)

This metapackage will install Debian Science packages related to Biology. You might also be interested in the field::biology debtag.

This metapackage makes use of the packages med-bio and med-bio-dev (for development of biological applications) which are maintained by Debian Med - another Debian Pure Blend. If you are a biologist you are most probably interested in the Debian Med project which deals with biology and medicine in much more detail then the more general Debian Science.

Chemistry - Debian Science Chemistry packages (492^*)

This metapackage will install Debian Science packages related to Chemistry. You might also be interested in the field::chemistry debtag and, depending on your focus, in the education-chemistry metapackage.

Data acquisition - Debian Science data acquisition packages (173^*)

This metapackage will install Debian Science packages related to data acquisition. This might be used in several sciences (as for instance science-viewing and science-typesetting).

Electronics - Debian Science Electronics packages (636^*)

This metapackage will install Debian Science packages related to Electronics. You might also be interested in the field::electronics debtag and, depending on your focus, in the education-electronics metapackage.

Engineering - Debian Science Engineering packages (314^*)

This metapackage is part od the Debian Pure Blend "Debian Science" and installs packages related to Engineering.

Please not that there is an additional package engineering-dev which depends from packages which are useful to develop engineering related software.

Engineering-dev - Debian Science Engineering-dev packages (157^*)

This metapackage will install Debian Science packages which might be helpful for development of applications for Engineering. Please note that packages listed as "recommended" may not be installed by default, and that packages listed as "suggested" will not be installed unless the user asks for them to be installed.

You might also be interested in the science-engineering metapackage.

This metapackage will install Debian Science packages which might be helpful for development of applications for Mathematics. Please note that packages listed as "recommended" may not be installed by default, and that packages listed as "suggested" will not be installed unless the user asks for them to be installed.

You might also be interested in the science-mathematics metapackage.

Meteorology - Debian Science Meteorology packages (71^*)

This metapackage is part of the Debian Pure Blend "Debian Science" and installs packages related to Meteorology and Climate.

Meteorology-dev - Debian Science Meteorology-dev packages (325^*)

This metapackage will install Debian Science packages which might be helpful for development of applications for Meteorology and Climate. Please note that packages listed as "recommended" may not be installed by default, and that packages listed as "suggested" will not be installed unless the user asks for them to be installed.

You might also be interested in the science-meteorology metapackage.

Cognitive neuroscience - Debian Science packages for Cognitive Neuroscience (234^*)

This metapackage will install Debian packages which might be useful for scientists doing cognitive neuroscience research. This comprises the full research process from conducting psychophysical experiments, over data acquisition and analysis, to visualization and typesetting of scientific results.

The selection of packages is targeting the application of analysis techniques. Methods developers are refered to the science-statistics, science-imageanalysis, science-numericalcomputation, med-imaging, and med-imaging-dev metapackages for a variety of additional software that might be useful in the context of cognitive neuroscience.

Numerical computation - Debian Science Numerical Computation packages (540^*)

This metapackage will install Debian Science packages useful for numerical computation. The packages provide an array oriented calculation and visualisation system for scientific computing and data analysis. These packages are similar to commercial systems such as Matlab and IDL.

Physics - Debian Science Physics packages (583^*)

This metapackage will install Debian Science packages related to Physics. You might also be interested in the debtag field::physics and, depending on your focus, in education-physics metapackage.

Robotics - Debian Robotics packages (960^*)

This metapackage is part of the Debian Pure Blend "Debian Science" and installs packages related to Robotics.

You might also be interested in the science-engineering metapackage.

Statistics - Debian Science Statistics packages (45^*)

This metapackage is part of the Debian Pure Blend "Debian Science" and installs packages related to statistics. This task is a general task which might be useful for any scientific work. It depends from a lot of R packages as well as from other tools which are useful to do statistics. Moreover the Science Mathematics task is suggested to optionally install all mathematics related software.
