Anki is a program designed to help you remember facts (such as words and phrases in a foreign language) as easily, quickly and efficiently as possible. To do this, it tracks how well you remember each fact, and uses that information to optimally schedule review times.

Besides text, it supports sounds, images and rendering TeX snippets in the cards. It can synchronize card decks to a server so that you can review the deck on other computers, a web interface or mobile devices, for which versions of Anki are also available. Complete card decks offered by other users can be downloaded the same way.

Anki is extensible with plugins which can be downloaded and installed from the menu. While Anki can be used for studying anything, plugins are available with special features designed to make studying Japanese and English easier: integrated dictionary lookups, missing kanji reports, and more.

This application provides as many baskets (drawers) as you wish; Several kinds of objects (texts, URLs, images,...) can be drag-n-drop'd into it.

Objects can be edited, copied, dragged... So, they can be arranged according to users' taste. Moreover, Basket allows you to keep all objects you want in one place, keep data on hand, take notes...

Calibre is a complete e-library solution. It includes library management, format conversion, news feeds to e-book conversion, e-book viewer and editor, and e-book reader sync features.

Calibre is primarily an e-book cataloging program. It manages your e-book collection for you. It is designed around the concept of the logical book, i.e. a single entry in the database that may correspond to e-books in several formats. It also supports conversion to and from a dozen different e-book formats.

Calibre supports almost every single e-Reader (e.g., Kindle, Kobo, Nook) and is compatible with more devices with every update. Calibre can transfer your e-books from one device to another in seconds, wirelessly or with a cable. It will send the best file format for your device converting it if needed, automatically.

Calibre can automatically fetch news from a number of websites/RSS feeds, format the news into a e-book and upload to a connected device.

Calibre has also a built-in e-book viewer that can display all the major e-book formats.

Based on the C.a.R. (Compass and Ruler) project, CaRMetal includes all of its functionalities - or almost. It propose a different approach from the graphical interface point of view.

• Ruler and compass constructions can be changed by dragging one of the basic construction points. The construction follows immediately. The student can check the correctness of the construction and gain new insight.

• Tracks of points and animated constructions can help to understand geometric relations. Tracks can be used as new objects to explore.

• With the macros of C.a.R. very complicated constructions become possible. Macros are also a way to organize the geometric thinking.

• Hiding construction details and using colors make constructions clearer to read. In C.a.R. lines and circles can also be reduced to the relevant points.

• Arithmetic computations, numerical solutions, curves and functions go beyond classical constructions. It is even possible to construct in 3D using advanced macros.

• Other geometries, hyperbolic or elliptic, can be explored.

• Scripting (javascript based) of figures.

Chemtool is a GTK+ based 2D chemical structure editor for X11. It supports many bond styles, most forms of text needed for chemical typesetting and splines/arcs/curved arrows.

Drawings can be exported to MOL and PDB format, SVG or XFig format for further annotation, as a PiCTeX drawing, as a bitmap or as Postscript files (several of these through XFig's companion program fig2dev).

The package also contains a helper program, cht, to calculate sum formula and (exact) molecular weight from a chemtool drawing file. Cht can either be called directly by Chemtool or on the console.

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

Fritzing is an open source project designed to help one transition from a prototype to a finished project. Aimed at users who want to produce or document circuits and experiments, one starts by building a physical prototype, then recreating it with Fritzing’s graphical editor. From there one can generate a schematic, PCB artwork, and PCB production files.

Inkscape is an illustration editor which has everything needed to create professional-quality computer art. You can use it to make diagrams and illustrations, technical drawings, web graphics, clip art, icons and logos.

KStars is a scientifically accurate desktop planetarium, visualising a graphical simulation of the night sky from any location on Earth, at any date and time. The display includes 130,000 stars, 13,000 deep-sky objects, all 8 planets, the Sun and Moon, and thousands of comets and asteroids. KStars addresses students and amateur astronomers of all levels.

The database of known objects can be extended and updated from local or remote databases, which is prepared for in a user-extendable interface. KStars suggests observations of particular interest like conjunctions with respect to the location of the user. And for user-selected targets it proposes the ones that are best-observable.

The software may be used for planning experiments around the globe, e.g. for remote controlled commercial services. But KStars also features an INDI interface to control local telescopes and cameras. Users with programming experience can script it via the KDE desktop bus.

Light Speed! je program používající OpenGL, který na vzhledu pohybujících se objektů ilustruje důsledky speciální teorie relativity. Tyto efekty se začnou projevovat, pokud rychlost objektu dosáhne několika tisíc kilometrů

 za sekundu. Čím více se rychlost objektu blíží rychlosti světla, tím jsou
efekty výraznější. Tyto relativistické efekty

jsou závislé na úhlu pohledu a patří mezi ně změna délky, barvy, jasu a tvaru objektu.

Pohybujícím se objektem je ve výchozím nastavení geometrická mřížka. Objekty můžete importovat také z 3D Studia a LightWave 3D. Nejlepší na tom je, že je simulátor kompletně interaktivní a vykresluje neobvyklé deformace v reálném čase!

Aplikace Marble je obecný geografický mapový widget a framework pro aplikace, stavějící na technologiích desktopového prostředí KDE. Widget Marble zobrazuje Zemi jako globus a to i bez hardwarově urychlovaného trojrozměrného vykreslování. Aplikace již v základu obsahuje i minimální sadu geografických dat, takže je použitelná i bez připojení k Internetu.

Tento balíček je součástí modulu pro vzdělávání v rámci KDE.

This program computes, for a nucleic acid duplex, the enthalpy, the entropy and the melting temperature of the helix-coil transitions. Three types of hybridisation are possible: DNA/DNA, DNA/RNA, and RNA/RNA. The program first computes the hybridisation enthalpy and entropy from the elementary parameters of each Crick's pair by the nearest-neighbor method. Then the melting temperature is computed. The set of thermodynamic parameters can be easily changed, for instance following an experimental breakthrough.

Parley is a utility to help train vocabulary when learning a foreign language. It is intended as a replacement for flash cards.
