Comment on Cantor project

Cantor

Cantor is a KDE Application aimed to provide a nice Interface for doing Mathematics and Scientific Computing. It doesn't implement its own Computation Logic, but instead is built around different Backends.

More information in Cantor's website.

Available Backends

• Julia Programming Language: http://julialang.org/
• KAlgebra for Calculation and Plotting: http://edu.kde.org/kalgebra/
• Lua Programming Language: http://lua.org/
• Maxima Computer Algebra System: http://maxima.sourceforge.net/
• Octave for Numerical Computation: https://gnu.org/software/octave/
• Python 2 Programming Language: http://python.org/
• Python 3 Programming Language: http://python.org/
• Qalculate Desktop Calculator: http://qalculate.sourceforge.net/
• R Project for Statistical Computing: http://r-project.org/
• Sage Mathematics Software: http://sagemath.org/
• Scilab for Numerical Computation: http://scilab.org/

The techical skills to work in Cantor are:

• C++
• Qt
• Some of the programming languages used as backends
  
• Inter-Process Communication (to know how to communicate Cantor to the backends programming languages)
