```
    Samples the specified univariate real function on the specified interval.

    f - Function to be sampled
    
    min - Lower bound of the interval (included).

  - toDifferentiable
```
public static UnivariateDifferentiableFunction toDifferentiable(UnivariateFunction f,
                                                                UnivariateFunction... derivatives)
```
    Convert regular functions to UnivariateDifferentiableFunction.
    This method handle the case with one free parameter and several derivatives. For the case with several free parameters and only first order derivatives, see toDifferentiable(MultivariateFunction, MultivariateVectorFunction). There are no direct support for intermediate cases, with several free parameters and order 2 or more derivatives, as is would be difficult to specify all the cross derivatives.
    
    Note that the derivatives are expected to be computed only with respect to the raw parameter x of the base function, i.e. they are df/dx, df²/dx², ... Even if the built function is later used in a composition like f(sin(t)), the provided derivatives should not apply the composition with sine and its derivatives by themselves. The composition will be done automatically here and the result will properly contain f(sin(t)), df(sin(t))/dt, df²(sin(t))/dt² despite the provided derivatives functions know nothing about the sine function.
    
    Parameters:
    
    f - base function f(x)
    
    derivatives - derivatives of the base function, in increasing differentiation order
    
    Returns:
    
    a differentiable function with value and all specified derivatives

```
    Convert regular functions to MultivariateDifferentiableFunction.
    This method handle the case with several free parameters and only first order derivatives. For the case with one free parameter and several derivatives, see toDifferentiable(UnivariateFunction, UnivariateFunction...). There are no direct support for intermediate cases, with several free parameters and order 2 or more derivatives, as is would be difficult to specify all the cross derivatives.
    
    Note that the gradient is expected to be computed only with respect to the raw parameter x of the base function, i.e. it is df/dx₁, df/dx₂, ... Even if the built function is later used in a composition like f(sin(t), cos(t)), the provided gradient should not apply the composition with sine or cosine and their derivative by itself. The composition will be done automatically here and the result will properly contain f(sin(t), cos(t)), df(sin(t), cos(t))/dt despite the provided derivatives functions know nothing about the sine or cosine functions.
    
    Parameters:
    
    f - base function f(x)
    
    gradient - gradient of the base function
    
    Returns:

```
    Convert an UnivariateDifferentiableFunction to an UnivariateFunction computing n^th order derivative.
    This converter is only a convenience method. Beware computing only one derivative does not save any computation as the original function will really be called under the hood. The derivative will be extracted from the full DerivativeStructure result.

    f - original function, with value and all its derivatives
    
    order - of the derivative to extract
    
    Returns:
    
    function computing the derivative at required order
