             Summary: Minor design suggestions for RealVector and 
MultivariateDifferentiableFunction
                 Key: MATH-998
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-998
             Project: Commons Math
          Issue Type: Wish
    Affects Versions: 3.2, 3.1
            Reporter: Alexander Nozik
            Priority: Minor


I am working on some kind of data analysis framework and using Math as a 
platform. There are some minor inconveniences in the architecture wich i want 
to note.
The first problem concerning RealVector clas. It has a lot of features (too 
much from my point of view) but does not implements any simple interface. Also 
it is not connected with geometry package wich is not a problem in my case, but 
seems strange.
The second problem is MultivariateDifferentiableFunction. It extends 
MultivariateFunction, but since 3.1 it uses DerivativeStructure wich is good 
for symbolic calculations but is not convinient for empirical and user defined 
functions. Perhaps it would be usefull to introduce some additional interfaces 
for vector to double and vector to vector differentiable functions?
