GNU Octave

Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical computations. It provides a convenient command line interface for solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically, and for performing other numerical experiments. It may also be used as a batch-oriented language.

JabRef

JabRef is a graphical Java application for managing bibtex (. bib) databases. It uses the bitex format as native file format, which makes it ideal for collaborating. JabRef can import bibliographies in numerous formats, provides extensive searching, sorting, and grouping features, can automatically ... [More] create bibtex keys, and can insert citations into TeXstudio, OpenOffice, WinEdit, LyX, and more. With Bibtex4word, an intengration with Microsoft Word is also possible. [Less]

QtOctave

QtOctave is a front-end for Octave. Octave is a high-level language for numerical computations, like Matlab.

refbase

refbase is a web-based bibliographic manager that can import and export references in various formats (including BibTeX, Endnote, ISI, RIS, PubMed, MODS XML, OpenOffice, and Word 2007 XML). It can make formatted lists of citations in HTML, RTF, PDF, or LaTeX, and offers powerful searching and RSS ... [More] support. Its OpenSearch and SRU/W services and support for unAPI and COinS metadata allow for easy access by clients and search engines. [Less]

Mastrave

Mastrave is a free software library written to perform vectorized scientific computing and to be as compatible as possible with both GNU Octave and Matlab computing frameworks, offering general purpose, portable and freely available features for the scientific community. Mastrave is mostly oriented ... [More] to ease complex modelling tasks such as those typically needed within environmental models, even when involving irregular and heterogeneous data series. . Semantic array programming The Mastrave project attempts to allow a more effective, quick interoperability between GNU Octave and Matlab users by using a reasonably well documented wrap around the main incompatibilities between those computing environments and by promoting a reasonably general idiom based on their common, stable syntagms. It also promotes the systematic adoption of data-transformation abstractions and lightweight semantic constraints to enable concise and reliable implementations of models following the paradigm of semantic array programming. There are a couple of underlying ideas: library design is language design and vice versa (Bell labs); language notation is definitely a "tool of thought" (Iverson), in the sense that there is a feedback between programming/mathematical notation and the ability to think new scientific insights. And perhaps ethic ones. . Science and society Mastrave is free software, which is software respecting your freedom. As many other free scientific software packages, it is offered to the scientific community to also promote the development of a free society more concerned about cooperation rather than competitiveness, heading toward knowledge and culture freedom. Such a vision implies the possibility for motivated individuals to freely access, review and contribute even to the cutting-edge academic culture. This possibility relies on the development of tools and methodologies helping to overcome economic, organizational and institutional barriers (i.e. knowledge oligopolies) while systematically promoting reproducible research. This is a long-term goal to which the free software paradigm can and has been able to actively cooperate.

xmds

XMDS is a code generator that integrates equations. You write them down in human readable form in a XML file, and it goes away and writes and compiles a C++ program that integrates those equations as fast as it can possibly be done in your architecture.

Java Units Specification

A Units of Measurement API for the Java Community: (replacing JSR-275, 108, 256 and earlier efforts like OSGi Measurements). Allowing experts to collaborate on source code evolving around Unit Standards like UCUM.

Debian Science

The main goal of the Debian Science project is to provide a system with all the most important free scientific software in each scientific field.

Model-Builder

Graphical ODE buiding, simulation and analysis tool.
