/*!
* The root finder solves a single nonlinear equation described below.
*
* \f[
* f(x) = f_0
* \f]
*
* \f$ f(x) \f$ is assumed to be single valued as a function of x.\f$ f(x) \f$ is not assumed to be continuous nor is
* its derivative assumed to be well formed.
*
* Root finders are significantly different in the sense that do not have to rely
* solely on Newton's method to find the answer to the problem. Instead they use a method to bound
* the solution between high and low values and then use a method to refine that bound. The eventual
* solution to the problem is presented as x_best and as a bound, delta_X, on the solution
* component. Because of this, they are far more stable for functions and Jacobians that have discontinuities
* or noise associated with them.
*
* The algorithm is a convolution of a local Secant method with an approach of finding a straddle in x.
* The Jacobian is never required.
*
* There is a general breakdown of the algorithm into stages. The first stage seeks to find a straddle of the
* function. The second stage seeks to reduce the bounds in x and f in order to satisfy the specification of the
* stopping criteria. In the last stage the algorithm seeks to find the base value of x that satisfies the
* original equation given what it current knows about the function.

* // Set the print level for the solver. Zero produces no output. Two produces a summary table of each iteration.

* // Define a maximum iteration number

* // Define the f_0 value, and on return will contain the actual value of f(x) obtained
