/**
 *
 * <p>
 *   This package holds the main interfaces and basic building block classes
 *   dealing with differentiation.
 *   The core class is {@link org.apache.commons.math3.analysis.differentiation.DerivativeStructure
 *   DerivativeStructure} which holds the value and the differentials of a function. This class
 *   handles some arbitrary number of free parameters and arbitrary differentiation order. It is used
 *   both as the input and the output type for the {@link
 *   org.apache.commons.math3.analysis.differentiation.UnivariateDifferentiableFunction
 *   UnivariateDifferentiableFunction} interface. Any differentiable function should implement this
 *   interface.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 *   The {@link org.apache.commons.math3.analysis.differentiation.UnivariateFunctionDifferentiator
 *   UnivariateFunctionDifferentiator} interface defines a way to differentiate a simple {@link
 *   org.apache.commons.math3.analysis.UnivariateFunction UnivariateFunction} and get a {@link
 *   org.apache.commons.math3.analysis.differentiation.UnivariateDifferentiableFunction
 *   UnivariateDifferentiableFunction}.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 *   Similar interfaces also exist for multivariate functions and for vector or matrix valued functions.
 * </p>
