New math libraries in Boost

[Piter Dias-3]

Guys,

We have already told about GSL, but the GPL license was allways a problem.
Today I visited Boost in order to see if there is some news and found the
Math Toolkit library under review.
GSL is much more complete but Math Toolkit seems to be a very good first step
for some Quantlib math algorithms and functions standardization.
Once GSL guys don´t want to move to LGPL license (you can read it in their
site), this alternative could grow up once there is a lot of projects and
products that can´t be GPL.

Regards,



Piter Dias

Yes, I've seen the announcement on their mailing list. I haven't looked
at the documentation yet, but the first reviews seemed good.

We'll probably have to wait some time before it's released with Boost,
but we're not in a hurry anyway...

Thanks for the head-up,
