Detailed Description

template<class Function>
class bisection_root_finder< Function >

This class provides the means to find roots of functions using the bisection method. For example, to find roots for sine:

typedef double function(double);
 num::bisection_root_finder<function> finder(std::sin);

find the root between 3 and 4.
 double pi = finder.find_root(3.0, 4.0);

find the root between -1 and 1.
 double zero = finder.find_root(-1.0, 1.0);
