Cantor is a GUI for fancy computer algebra systems (CAS).

It is part of the KDE Education Project.

Description

Cantor is an application that lets you use your favorite mathematical applications from within a nice KDE-integrated Worksheet Interface. It offers assistant dialogs for common tasks and allows you to share your worksheets with others.

Eleven backends are currently available: Julia, Lua, Maxima, GNU Octave, python2, python, Qalculate, Sage, Scilab, R and KAlgebra.

Features

Nice Worksheet view for evaluating expressions
View of plotting results inside the worksheet or in a separate window
Easy plugin based structure to add different backends
GetHotNewStuff integration to upload/download example worksheets
Typesetting of mathematical formulas using LaTeX
Backend aware syntax highlighting
Plugin based assistant dialogs for common tasks (like integrating a function or entering a matrix)
