Does anyone know of a math package that would be suitable for the Insurance Actuarial community? They do things like analyze mortality tables, present value calculations etc. They use large amount of data in their work and they do vector matrix manipulations. Typically you would find them using the APL programming language. Thanks, Brian

Brian:
Is this for your customer who bought VAX APL? Would this be a math
package to work within the VAX APL environment? Or is it intended to be
a separate piece of software? Since it is intended that the real sale
of VAX APL is a VAX/VMS and VMS layered products sale, there must be
existing math and analysis packages which fit the bill, and can
incorporate APL-generated processes (if that is called for).
Will the customer be loading tables and other data to databases? RdB?
Flat Files? Are RdB-associated tools relevant? Would SAS or Focus or
any of those tools be appropriate?
The asnwer to your question is: probably. Just need a bit more
information.
