  /**
     Base class for GSL Root-Finding algorithms for one dimensional functions which do not use function derivatives.
     For finding the roots users should not use this class directly but instantiate the derived classes,
     for example  ROOT::Math::Roots::Brent for using the Brent algorithm.
     All the classes defining the alhorithms are defined in the header Math/RootFinderAlgorithm.h
     They possible types implementing root bracketing algorithms which they do not require function
     derivatives are:
     <ul>
         <li>ROOT::Math::Roots::Bisection
         <li>ROOT::Math::Roots::FalsePos
         <li>ROOT::Math::Roots::Brent
     </ul>

     See also the specific  classes for the documentation.
     See the GSL <A HREF="http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/manual/html_node/Root-Bracketing-Algorithms.html"> online manual</A> for
     information on the GSL Root-Finding algorithms
