Mathematical Software in Debian

An open discussion about how to make Debian a better system for mathematicians. Mathematical software is software that is useful to people doing mathematics. Examples include: computer algebra packages; interactive geometry software (e.g. kig); specialized software for e.g. graph isomorphism. For much of mathematics, exact or verifiable computation is an important feature, so packages like GMP are crucial. Natural questions to discuss include what we are doing well, what we could do better, and how could we cooperate more effectively both with each other and with mathematician upstream developers.
