Tasks page

This is a list of the Tasks Debian Science is made of:

Astronomy - Debian Science Astronomy packages

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

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 - paquets Debian Science concernant la biologie

Ce métapaquet installe les paquets de Debian Science concernant la biologie. Vous pouvez également être intéressé par le debtag field::biology.

Ce métapaquet utilise les paquets med-bio et med-bio-dev (pour le développement d'applications biologiques) qui sont maintenus par Debian Med – une autre saveur pure Debian. Si vous êtes biologiste, vous serez probablement plus intéressé par le projet Debian Med qui traite de biologie et médecine beaucoup plus en détail que le projet plus général Debian Science.

Chemistry - Debian Science Chemistry packages

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

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

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

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

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.

Geography - Debian Science Geography packages

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

Image analysis - Debian Science image analysis packages

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

Linguistics - Debian Science Linguistics packages

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

Mathematics - Debian Science Mathematics packages

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

Mathematics-dev - Debian Science Mathematics-dev packages

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Typesetting - Debian Science typesetting packages

This metapackage will install Debian Science packages related to typesetting. You might also be interested in the use::typesetting debtag.

Viewing - Debian Science data visualisation packages

This metapackage will install Debian Science packages related to data visualization. You might also be interested in the use::viewing debtag.
