Welcome to the MOTU Science team. We are responsible for the upkeep of science packages within the Universe repository. Check out the [http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/science/ Science], [http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/math/ Mathematics], and even the [http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/tex/ TeX] sections of the repositories for packages that might fall under this catagory.

...and you!

Make sure science packages are synced from Debian.
Make sure Ubuntu science packages actually work. Some need to be tested and bug reports need to be filed.
Let's get a .desktop file for all the relevent science packages. Many don't have .desktop files or icons. I believe that most of the packages should have something like Categories=ConsoleOnly;Math; or Categories=Application;Science; . Please refer to the freedesktop.org standards for [http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ .desktop files] and [http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/ menus]. The main wiki page for this is UniversePackageWithoutDesktopFile.
Package some of the programs found at [http://www.gnomefiles.org/category.php?cat_id=6 gnomefiles.org] for inclusion into Ubuntu.

Lists of source packages with their versions for Math, Science, and TeX sections.

[http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1123 FlowDesigner] - "FlowDesigner is a free (GPL/LGPL) data flow oriented development environment. It can be used to build complex applications by combining small, reusable building blocks. In some ways, it is similar to both Simulink and LabView, but is hardly a clone of either." (Kyral is looking into this) -- Its in REVU now - (Kyral)
[http://icculus.org/~jcspray/plotdrop/ PlotDrop] - PlotDrop is designed for quick simple visualisation of 2D data series. It is a minimal GNOME frontend to GNUPlot. (LaserJock is working on this one)
[http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=112 GChemPaint] - A 2D chemical structures editor for the Gnome desktop. It should enable embedding some chemistry in files from other programs using Bonobo. Also on UniverseCandidates.
[http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=676 EasyChem] - Draw press-quality molecules and chemical 2D formulas (organic molecules in particular). Export to many formats (e.g. Postscript, LaTeX and Fig). -- Looks like an easy package. I'll take care of it (Kyral) -- 11/19/05 - Its in REVU - Kyral
[http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=471 Gabedit] - a graphical interface to Gaussian, Molcas, Molpro and MPQC computational chemistry packages.
[http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/ Texmaker] - a very nice LaTeX editor similar to Kile. (LaserJock)
