User Class to find the Root of one dimensional functions.

The GSL Methods are implemented in MathMore and they are loaded automatically via the plug-in manager

The possible types of Root-finding algorithms are:

Root Bracketing Algorithms which do not require function derivatives
1. RootFinder::kBRENT (default method implemented in MathCore)
2. RootFinder::kGSL_BISECTION
3. RootFinder::kGSL_FALSE_POS
4. RootFinder::kGSL_BRENT
