Bug#812562: ITP: jscience -- Java science library (algebra, matrices, physical models)

[Andreas Tille <andreas@an3as.eu>]

Hi Wookey,

since you are just maintaining several packages in Debian Science I
assume you will do so with this package as well.  I'm just forwarding
the ITP to the list.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
