Marble

claimed by KDE

Marble is a Virtual Globe and World Atlas that you can use to learn more about Earth: You can pan and zoom around and you can look up places and roads. A mouse click on a place label will provide the respective Wikipedia article. Marble is also a light weight generic geographical map component ... [More] for use in your own Qt 4.x / C++ application. It is provided as a library, a QWidget and a KDE 4 KPart and hence can easily get integrated with KDE 4 or Qt 4 applications. By default MarbleWidget shows the earth as a sphere but doesn't make use of any hardware acceleration. [Less]

KStars

claimed by KDE

KStars is a graphical desktop planetarium for KDE. It provides an accurate simulation of the night sky, as seen from any location on Earth, on any date. It has a host of tools for every astronomer and astronomy enthusiast!

Kalzium

claimed by KDE

Kalzium is an application which will show you some information about the periodic system of the elements. Therefore you could use it as an information database. It also includes an equation solver and 3D viewer for molecules.

KmPlot

claimed by KDE

KmPlot is a mathematical function plotter. It has a powerful parser built in. You can plot different functions simultaneously and combine their function terms to build new functions. KmPlot supports functions with parameters and functions in polar coordinates. Several grid modes are possible. Plots ... [More] may be printed with high precision in correct scale. Features * powerful mathematical parser * precise metric printing * different plot types (functions, parametric, polar) * highly configurable visual settings (plot line, axes, grid) * export to bitmap format (BMP and PNG) and scalable vector graphics (SVG) * save/load complete session in readable xml format * trace mode: cross hair following plot, coordinates shown in the status bar support zooming and more.

Kig

claimed by KDE

Kig is a program for exploring geometric constructions. It is meant as a better replacement for such free programs as KGeo, KSeg and Dr. Geo and commercial programs like Cabri. Kig is meant as a useful and powerful utility for high school students and teachers.

Parley

claimed by KDE

Parley is a program to help you memorize things. Parley supports many language specific features but can be used for other learning tasks just as well. It uses the spaced repetition learning method, also known as flash cards. Features: * Different test types * Fast test setup with all options in ... [More] one dialog * More than two languages (for example English, Chinese Traditional and Chinese Simplified) * Find words (also by word type) quickly * Easy lesson management * Premade vocabulary files ready to use * Share and download vocabulary using Get Hot New Stuff * Open XML file format (shared with KWordQuiz, Kanagram and KHangMan) that can be edited by hand and is easily usable with scripts [Less]

Step

claimed by KDE

Step is an interactive physical simulator. It works like this: you place some bodies on the scene, add some forces, such as gravity or springs, then click "Simulate" and Step shows you how your scene will evolve according to the laws of physics. You can change every property of bodies and ... [More] forces in your experiment (even during simulation) and see how this will change evolution of the experiment. With Step you can not only learn but feel how physics works! [Less]

KTurtle

claimed by KDE

KTurtle is an educational programming environment. KTurtle aims to make programming as easy and touchable as possible, and therefore can be used to teach kids the basics of math, geometry and... programming. The programming language used in KTurtle is loosly based on Logo. KTurtle allows, just like ... [More] some implementations of Logo, to translate the programming language (the commands, the documentation and the error messages) to native language of the programmer. Translating the programming language to the native language of the programmer is one of the many ways KTurtle tries to make learning to programming more simple. Other features to help to achieve this goal are: intuitive syntax highlighting, simple error messages, integrated canvas to make drawings on, integrated help function, ... [Less]

KAlgebra

claimed by KDE

KAlgebra is a calculator with symbolic and analysis features that lets you plot 2D and 3D functions as well as to easily calculate mathematical expressions.

KTouch

claimed by KDE

KTouch is a program for learning how to touch-type. It offers you an easy way to learn to type quickly and correctly on a keyboard. Starting with only a few keys to remember you will advance through different training levels while additional keys are introduced. KTouch indicates the keys you need to ... [More] press and the finger you need to use for that key on the screen. You don't have to look down on the keyboard to search for the key. You will therefore get used to looking at the screen only and hence learn touch typing much faster. Detailed training statistics help you to find possible typing problems (keys that you typed wrong very often). The program calculates typing speed and your accuracy on-the-fly and displays them while you type. [Less]
