-- | The Roots.Simple module contains root-finding algorithms. That

-- | Does the (continuous) function @f@ have a root on the interval
--   [a,b]? If f(a) <] 0 and f(b) ]> 0, we know that there's a root in
--   [a,b] by the intermediate value theorem. Likewise when f(a) >= 0
--   and f(b) <= 0.
--
--   Examples:
--
--   >>> let f x = x**3
--   >>> has_root f (-1) 1 Nothing
--   True
--
--   This fails if we don't specify an @epsilon@, because cos(-2) ==
--   cos(2) doesn't imply that there's a root on [-2,2].
--
--   >>> has_root cos (-2) 2 Nothing
--   False
--   >>> has_root cos (-2) 2 (Just 0.001)
--   True

-- | We are given a function @f@ and an interval [a,b]. The bisection
--   method checks finds a root by splitting [a,b] in half repeatedly.
--
--   If one is found within some prescribed tolerance @epsilon@, it is
--   returned. Otherwise, the interval [a,b] is split into two
--   subintervals [a,c] and [c,b] of equal length which are then both
--   checked via the same process.
--
--   Returns 'Just' the value x for which f(x) == 0 if one is found,
--   or Nothing if one of the preconditions is violated.
