Collaborative Calculation and Data Science
LaTeX, Jupyter and Linux
CoCalc offers a comprehensive workspace for computational research and education. Users collaboratively edit LaTeX documents with live preview, code in Jupyter Notebooks (supporting Python, R, Octave, and more), or work directly in Linux terminals – all within a browser-based environment.
Changes are synchronized instantly across all collaborators in a project. Additionally, the platform ensures automatic version control through its TimeTravel functionality, allowing users to review or restore any previous file state.
Key Features:
- LaTeX editor with real-time preview for seamless document creation
- Pre-installed scientific stack: Python, SageMath, Octave, Pandas, NumPy, and 100+ specialized packages
- Course management tools: Distribute assignments, auto-grade notebooks via NBGrader, and monitor student progress
- Integrated AI assistant: Explains code, helps debugging errors, and generates content to accelerate workflows
Academic teams use CoCalc to collaborate on research papers, conduct reproducible data analyses, and deliver interactive coursework. Its browser-based access to specialized scientific tools makes it particularly convenient for remote collaboration. Features like chat, @mentions, and messaging for team communication further streamline group coordination.
