Gilles commented on MATH-726:
-----------------------------

bq. The additional input like tolerances can be specified in the Ridders 
constructor, [...]

This sentence makes me think that we don't understand each other: the tolerance 
currently _is_ passed in the constructor. It is the method that computes the 
derivative (which takes additional parameters and returns a {{double}} in 
"RiddersFirstDerivative", while in "nabla" I think that the equivalent method 
would return a "function" object).

Anyways, this should not be a blocking issue, while at the same time, we should 
probably not jump too quickly to a conclusion concerning the API (here and 
there). So probably better to leave this for later.
