  /**
     Parametric Function class describing polynomials of order n.
 
     <em>P(x) = p[0] + p[1]*x + p[2]*x**2 + ....... + p[n]*x**n</em>
 
     The class implements also the derivatives, \a dP(x)/dx and the \a dP(x)/dp[i].
 
     The class provides also the method to find the roots of the polynomial.
     It uses analytical methods up to quartic polynomials.
 
     Implements both the Parameteric function interface and the gradient interface
     since it provides the analytical gradient with respect to x
