                  Many important partial differential equation problems
                  in homogeneous media, such as those of acoustic or
                  electromagnetic wave propagation, can be represented in
                  the form of integral equations on the boundary of the
                  domain of interest. In order to solve such problems,
                  the boundary element method (BEM) can be applied.
                  The advantage compared to domain-discretisation-based
                  methods such as finite element methods is that only
                  a discretisation of the boundary is necessary, which
                  significantly reduces the number of unknowns.  Yet,
                  BEM formulations are much more difficult to implement
                  than finite element methods. In this paper we present
                  BEM++, a novel open-source library for the solution of
                  boundary integral equations for Laplace, Helmholtz and
                  Maxwell problems in three space dimensions. BEM++ is a C++
                  library with Python bindings for all important features,
                  making it possible to integrate the library into other C++
                  projects or to use it directly via Python scripts. The
                  internal structure and design decisions for BEM++ are
                  discussed. Several examples are presented to demonstrate
                  the performance of the library for larger problems.",
