Actually on counting them, I realise that there are 8 Matlab/IDL like packages. I have therefore created a "Numerical Computation" package and uploaded it. I don't feel the description fully captures what I want it to say, so suggestions for improvement appreciated. The name is not set in stone either. Task: Numerical Computation Description: Debian Science Numerical Computation packages This metapackage will install Debian Science packages useful for numerical computation. The packages provide an array oriented calculation and visualisation system for scientific computing and data analysis. These packages are similar to commercial systems such as Matlab and IDL.
