Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist What is it:
The QuantLib project is aimed to provide a comprehensive software framework for quantitative finance. The goal is to provide a standard free/open source library to quantitative analysts and developers for modeling, trading, and risk management in real-life. QuantLib plans to offer tools that are useful for both practical implementation, with features such as market conventions, solvers, PDEs, etc., and advanced modeling, e.g., exotic options and interest rate models. Author: The Quantlib team, with Ferdinando Ametrano ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) as main upstream coordinator. Fernando is very happy about the idea of a Debian package, they use Debian (among other systems) upstream.

This license classifies QuantLib as both Free Software and Open Source. see http://www.quantlib.org/license.html Other stuff: There is also a Python frontend, made with the most recent Swig (which we don't yet have). I'll do that too, but it might take a little longer until I have sorted all that out What's next: I will upload these in the next few days, unless I hear objections. Cheers, Dirk -- According to the latest figures, 43% of all statistics are totally worthless.
