Project listing

The Gentoo Science Project purpose is to create an easy way for the scientific community to use Gentoo to their advantage and to also make it easy to contribute back, should such desire emerge. The project strives to maintain a large set of scientific packages as well as wide configuration options that users of Gentoo have come to expect. Additional goals of the Gentoo Science Project are to create and maintain relevant documentation as well as to organize activities related to both science and Gentoo.

Subprojects

The Science project is composed of a general project and the following subprojects:

Project	Gentoo Activities
Astronomy	Astronomy, astrophysics and cosmology
Biology	Biology
Chemistry	Chemistry
Electronics	Electronics
Geosciences	Earth Sciences packages
Mathematics	Mathematics, statistics packages, numerical libraries
Physics	Crystallography, Quantum, High Energy Physics
