Remarks

This namespace contains types for the numerical analysis of user-supplied functions. Examples of such analysis include:

  • evaluating a definite integral
  • solving transcendental equations (i.e. finding roots)
  • finding an optimum (minimum or maximum)
  • solving a differential equation

The central types in the namespace are the static classes FunctionMath, which contains methods for the analysis of functions of a single variable, and MultiFunctionMath, which contains methods for the analysis of functions with multidimensional arguments or outputs.

The termination criteria for most analysis methods can be controlled by providing an appropriate EvaluationSettings object. These settings objects allow the caller to specify the maximum number of function evaluations, the termination criteria for returning a result, and other evaluation settings.
