Excerpt: Cantor is an application, aimed at providing a nice worksheet view to Free Software Math packages. Cantor is a scientific statistics and analysis program for advanced needs. It is part of KDE Software Collection 4.4, which can be installed on Linux , Windows , Mac OS X .As Cantor is part of kdeedu package, most Linux distributions will already have a package for it. Typically it is either combined with other apps in one kdeedu package or split into a separate cantor package. Introduction Cantor is an application to allow users to use their favorite mathematical applications from within an elegant KDE-integrated Worksheet Interface. It provides dialogs to assist with common tasks and allows users to share worksheets with others.Cantor ships with KDE Education Project . Cantor features Main features are: The Cantor backends Cantor offers several choices for the backends to use with it. The choice to make depends on what user want to achieve. Currently the following backends are available: : Sage (mathematics software) , Maxima (software) , R (programming language) , KAlgebra References (URLs online) Websites (URLs online) A hyperlinked version of this chapter is at Developer(s) : Robert H. Lewis Fermat is a freeware program developed by Prof. Robert H. Lewis of Fordham University . It is a computer algebra system , in which items being computed can be integers (of arbitrary size), rational numbers , real numbers , complex numbers , modular numbers, finite field elements, multivariable polynomials , rational functions , or polynomials modulo other polynomials. The main areas of application are multivariate rat...
