Description: exact computation with real and complex numbers


This software is still pretty experimental, but there are already
discussions of using it in sagemath -- and its author has a track-
record of delivering good software.

I would like to package it (and maintain, of course!) within the Debian
Science team ; perhaps I'll start by uploading it to experimental,
waiting for either more definite plans to use it in sagemath or a more
stable version before uploading to unstable.

Cheers,

JP
