Bug#101966: ITP: libquantlib0 -- C++ library for quantitative finance
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 (ferdinando@ametrano.net) as
main upstream coordinator.
Fernando is very happy about the idea of a Debian package, they use Debian
(among other systems) upstream.

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
