Debian Edu Physics packages

A package to reorganize menu branches in order to get a structure easy to use for teachers and students.

This software component contains the reference implementation of the Jupyter notebook format, and Python APIs to work with notebooks.

This package installs the notebook signing tool.

The Jupyter Notebook is a web application that allows you to create and share documents that contain live code, equations, visualizations, and explanatory text. The Notebook has support for multiple programming languages, sharing, and interactive widgets.

This package provides the jupyter subcommands "notebook", "nbextension", "serverextension" and "bundlerextension".

Light Speed! is an OpenGL-based program which illustrates the effects of special relativity on the appearance of moving objects. When an object accelerates past a few million meters per second, these effects begin to grow noticeable, becoming more and more pronounced as the speed of light is approached. These relativistic effects are viewpoint-dependent, and include shifts in length, object hue, brightness and shape.

The moving object is, by default, a geometric lattice. 3D Studio and LightWave 3D objects may be imported as well. Best of all, the simulator is completely interactive, rendering the exotic distortions in real-time!

Planets is a simple interactive program for playing with simulations of planetary systems. It is great for teaching gravitation on planet level.

The user interface is aimed at being simple enough for a fairly young kid to enjoy it, there is a special kid-mode for this purpose.

A Jupyter Sphinx theme for narrative documentation.

It integrates the Bootstrap CSS / JavaScript framework with various layout options, hierarchical menu navigation, and mobile-friendly responsive design. It is configurable, extensible and can use any number of different Bootswatch CSS themes.

This package contains the Python 3 version of the theme.

Matplotlib is a pure Python plotting library designed to bring publication quality plotting to Python with a syntax familiar to Matlab users. All of the plotting commands in the pylab interface can be accessed either via a functional interface familiar to Matlab users or an object oriented interface familiar to Python users.

With Step you can not only learn but feel how physics works. You place some bodies on the scene, add some forces such as gravity or springs, then click "Simulate" and Step shows you how your scene will evolve according to the laws of physics. You can change every property of bodies/forces in your experiment (even during simulation) and see how this will change evolution of the experiment.

This package is part of the KDE education module.

KTurtle is an educational programming environment which uses the TurtleScript programming language (inspired by Logo) to make programming as easy and accessible as possible.

The user issues TurtleScript language commands to control the "turtle", which draws on the canvas, making KTurtle suitable for teaching elementary mathematics, geometry and programming.

This package is part of the KDE education module.

PyODE is a set of open-source Python bindings for The Open Dynamics Engine, an open-source physics engine. PyODE also includes an XODE parser.

This package provides PyODE for supported versions of Python.

Xoscope is a oscilloscope using input from a sound card or EsounD server and/or a COMEDI hardware. Includes 8 signal displays, variable time scale, math, memory, measurements, and file save/load.

Squeak Etoys was inspired by LOGO, PARC-Smalltalk, Hypercard, and starLOGO. It is a media-rich authoring environment with a simple powerful scripted object model for many kinds of objects created by end-users that runs on many platforms, and is free and open source. It includes 2D and 3D graphics, images, text, particles, presentations, web-pages, videos, sound and MIDI, etc. It includes the ability to share desktops with other Etoy users in real-time, so many forms of immersive mentoring and play can be done over the Internet.

This is the Squeak image developed for the OLPC project.
