One experience that was lacking in my early education was the use of computers to solve math problems. You could always use a word processor to type a report or the internet to find a map for geography but you always needed to solve math problems out my hand. Therefore, I would like to "sugarize" a mathematics application from KDEEdu, probably KAlgebra since it is general purpose and has graphing capabilites. I believe this will help all students, but especially those who may find it hard to visualize some concepts.

* What is the timeline for development of your project? The Summer of Code work period is 7 weeks long, May 23 - August 10; tell us what you will be working on each week. (As the summer goes on, you and your mentor will adjust your schedule, but it's good to have a plan at the beginning so you have an idea of where you're headed.) Note that you should probably plan to have something "working and 90% done" by the midterm evaluation (July 6-13); the last steps always take longer than you think, and we will consider cancelling projects which are not mostly working by then.

* Convince us, in 5-15 sentences, that you will be able to successfully complete your project in the timeline you have described. This is usually where people describe their past experiences, credentials, prior projects, schoolwork, and that sort of thing, but be creative. Link to prior work or other resources as relevant.
