omg isa ka pa XDDD latex beamer!

\o/ latex beamer

aespinosa am trying to craft a first-year HS curriculum for LaTeX/SciLab to replace Office, game ka?

sige game ako.

the motive is to prepare science students to a) use computational software to make relevant graphs, i.e. for lab reports, ...

prepare them to use LaTeX for technical writing, submissions and presentation

been wondering if spreadsheets are significant enough to include something like SQLite for database or just graphing using scilab

R should be enough for typical spreadsheet needs

you can embed latex calls to python scipy+matplotlib scripts to pass them to a literate programming parser

hmmm, sounds promising. but a little too much work to teach freshmen and those teaching them. good point about R, though
