Gilles Sadowski commented on NUMBERS-155:
-----------------------------------------
Thanks.
Do you think that it makes sense to have a {{rootfinder}} package in the
{{commons-numbers-core}} module rather than another module with just this one
functionality? Or do you imagine that we'd add something else in the
{{commons-numbers-rootfinder}} module? [IIRC, there was never a case where any
of the other root finders in Commons Math were better than Brent's solver.]

> Shouldn't some functionality currently in module {{commons-numbers-arrays}}
> be moved to {{commons-number-core}}?
> Rationale is that the utilities focus on extended precision of some
> computations (on numbers that happen to be stored in an array).
> Wouldn't the Brent solver (in module {{commons-numbers-rootfinder}}) benefit
> from a version based on the new {{ExtendedPrecision}} class?
