Quote from ublas documentation 
(http://www.boost.org/libs/numeric/ublas/doc/index.htm):

``uBLAS is a C++ template class library that provides BLAS level 1, 2, 3
functionality for dense, packed and sparse matrices. The design and
implementation unify mathematical notation via operator overloading and
efficient code generation via expression templates.''

It is one of `boost' libraries (http://www.boost.org/index.htm).

The `Bindings Library' contains interfaces between ublas classes and 
some non-boost numeric libraries, among them `umfpack'.
It is not part of boost (at least not yet ;o).

It is not complete, but parts of it can be downloaded from
boost-sandbox: http://tinyurl.com/r1ch.
First page of documentation is at http://tinyurl.com/6acht,
and `umfpack bindings' are documented at http://tinyurl.com/6jz4z.
