24  Interfaces (abstract classes) and Base classes used in MathCore and MathMore numerical methods
25  for describing function classes. They define function and gradient evaluation and as well the
26  functionality for dealing with parameters in the case of parametric functions which are used for
27  fitting and data modeling.
28  Included are also adapter classes, such as functors, to wrap generic callable C++ objects
29  in the desired interface.
