Derivator()
      Empty Construct for a Derivator class
      Need to set the function afterwards with Derivator::SetFunction

explicit Derivator(const IGenFunction &f)
      Construct using a GSL function pointer type
       @param f :  free function pointer of the GSL required type
       @param p :  pointer to the object carrying the function state
                    (for example the function object itself)

void SetFunction(const ROOT::Math::IGenFunction& f)
       Template methods for generic functions
       Set the function f for evaluating the derivative.
       The function type must implement the assigment operator,
       <em>  double  operator() (  double  x ) </em>

double Eval(double x, double h = 1E-8) const
       Computes the numerical derivative of a function f at a point x.
       It uses Derivator::EvalCentral to compute the derivative using an
       adaptive central difference algorithm with a step size h

double EvalCentral(double x, double h = 1E-8) const
       Computes the numerical derivative at a point x using an adaptive central
       difference algorithm with a step size h.

double EvalForward(double x, double h = 1E-8) const
       Computes the numerical derivative at a point x using an adaptive forward
       difference algorithm with a step size h.
       The function is evaluated only at points greater than x and at x itself.

double EvalBackward(double x, double h = 1E-8) const
       Computes the numerical derivative at a point x using an adaptive backward
       difference algorithm with a step size h.
       The function is evaluated only at points less than x and at x itself.
