This example demonstrates how to use the various tools for root finding
taking the simple cube root function (`cbrt`) as an example.
It shows how use of derivatives can improve the speed.
(But is only a demonstration and does not try to make the ultimate improvements of 'real-life'
implementation of `boost::math::cbrt`, mainly by using a better computed initial 'guess'
at `<boost/math/special_functions/cbrt.hpp>`).
Then we show how a higher root (fifth) can be computed,
and in `root_finding_n_example.cpp` a generic method
for the ['n]th root that constructs the derivatives at compile-time,
These methods should be applicable to other functions that can be differentiated easily.
First some `#includes` that will be needed.
[tip For clarity, `using` statements are provided to list what functions are being used in this example:
you can of course partly or fully qualify the names in other ways.
(For your application, you may wish to extract some parts into header files,
but you should never use `using` statements globally in header files).]

Let's suppose we want to find the root of a number ['a], and to start, compute the cube root.
So the equation we want to solve is:
__spaces ['f](x) = x[cubed] - a
We will first solve this without using any information
about the slope or curvature of the cube root function.
We then show how adding what we can know about this function, first just the slope,
the 1st derivation /f'(x)/, will speed homing in on the solution.
Lastly we show how adding the curvature /f''(x)/ too will speed convergence even more.

Implementing the cube root function itself is fairly trivial now:
the hardest part is finding a good approximation to begin with.
In this case we'll just divide the exponent by three.

[note The final parameter specifying a maximum number of iterations is optional.
However, it defaults to `boost::uintmax_t maxit = (std::numeric_limits<boost::uintmax_t>::max)();`
which is `18446744073709551615` and is more than anyone would wish to wait for!
So it may be wise to chose some reasonable estimate of how many iterations may be needed,
In this case the function is so well behaved that we can chose a low value of 20.
Internally when Boost.Math uses these functions, it sets the maximum iterations to
`policies::get_max_root_iterations<Policy>();`.]
Should we have wished we can show how many iterations were used in `bracket_and_solve_root`
(this information is lost outside `cbrt_noderiv`), for example with:
if (it >= maxit)
{
std::cout << "Unable to locate solution in " << maxit << " iterations:"
" Current best guess is between " << r.first << " and " << r.second << std::endl;
}
else
{
std::cout << "Converged after " << it << " (from maximum of " << maxit << " iterations)." << std::endl;
}
for output like
Converged after 11 (from maximum of 20 iterations).

//] [/root_finding_noderiv_2]
// Cube root with 1st derivative (slope)
/*
We now solve the same problem, but using more information about the function,
to show how this can speed up finding the best estimate of the root.
For the root function, the 1st differential (the slope of the tangent to a curve at any point) is known.
If you need some reminders then
[@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivative#Derivatives_of_elementary_functions Derivatives of elementary functions]
may help.
Using the rule that the derivative of ['x[super n]] for positive n (actually all nonzero n) is ['n x[super n-1]],
allows us to get the 1st differential as ['3x[super 2]].
To see how this extra information is used to find a root, view
[@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_method Newton-Raphson iterations]
and the [@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_method#mediaviewer/File:NewtonIteration_Ani.gif animation].
We need to define a different functor `cbrt_functor_deriv` that returns
both the evaluation of the function to solve, along with its first derivative:
To \'return\' two values, we use a `std::pair` of floating-point values
(though we could equally have used a std::tuple):

[h3 Fifth-root function]
Let's now suppose we want to find the [*fifth root] of a number ['a].
The equation we want to solve is :
__spaces['f](x) = x[super 5] - a
If your differentiation is a little rusty
(or you are faced with an equation whose complexity is daunting),
then you can get help, for example from the invaluable
[@http://www.wolframalpha.com/ WolframAlpha site.]
For example, entering the commmand: `differentiate x ^ 5`
or the Wolfram Language command: ` D[x ^ 5, x]`
gives the output: `d/dx(x ^ 5) = 5 x ^ 4`
and to get the second differential, enter: `second differentiate x ^ 5`
or the Wolfram Language command: `D[x ^ 5, { x, 2 }]`
to get the output: `d ^ 2 / dx ^ 2(x ^ 5) = 20 x ^ 3`
To get a reference value, we can enter: [^fifth root 3126]
or: `N[3126 ^ (1 / 5), 50]`
to get a result with a precision of 50 decimal digits:
5.0003199590478625588206333405631053401128722314376
(We could also get a reference value using Boost.Multiprecision - see below).
The 1st and 2nd derivatives of x[super 5] are:
__spaces['f]\'(x) = 5x[super 4]
__spaces['f]\'\'(x) = 20x[super 3]
