Description:

Praktikum is a formula based program for processing numerical series. Its
advantages show especially when a formula is used many times with different
entries, either in a parallel way to form a result list from a argument list
(e.g. tables of functions, processing of data series from scientific
experiments), or in a serial way, when parameters are used in a calculation
(e.g. to show the dependence of a function on a certain parameter, multiple
repeating of experiments under varying conditions). It can also be used to
determine which mathematical function fits an empirical found numerical
correlation.

Praktikum has been originally developed to process data acquired by
practical studies in natural sciences and has proved very useful in this
context. Beside this, we regard Praktikum as a sensible alternative to high
priced pocket calculators with graphic display.

From version 1.10, you can also generate logarithmic axes, several
kinds of axis intersections, clipping, variable line widths and colors.
All formulae (including the automatic generated ones) can be exported
as plain text or as TeX source code. If you change any variable or
formula, all error formulae, tables and diagrams are automatically
updated.

This package is a demonstration version.
