public class Gradient
extends Object
implements Derivative<Gradient>, RealFieldElement<Gradient>, Serializable
```
Class representing both the value and the differentials of a function.
This class is a stripped-down version of DerivativeStructure with derivation order limited to one. It should have less overhead than DerivativeStructure in its domain.

This class is an implementation of Rall's numbers. Rall's numbers are an extension to the real numbers used throughout mathematical expressions; they hold the derivative together with the value of a function.

Gradient instances can be used directly thanks to the arithmetic operators to the mathematical functions provided as methods by this class (+, -, *, /, %, sin, cos ...).

Implementing complex expressions by hand using these classes is a tedious and error-prone task but has the advantage of having no limitation on the derivation order despite not requiring users to compute the derivatives by themselves.

Instances of this class are guaranteed to be immutable.

```
public static Gradient constant(int freeParameters,
                                double value)
```
    Build an instance corresponding to a constant value.
    
    Parameters:
    
    freeParameters - number of free parameters (i.e. dimension of the gradient)
    
    value - constant value of the function
    
    Returns:
    
    a Gradient with a constant value and all derivatives set to 0.0

```
public static Gradient variable(int freeParameters,
                                int index,
                                double value)
```
    Build a Gradient representing a variable.
    Instances built using this method are considered to be the free variables with respect to which differentials are computed. As such, their differential with respect to themselves is +1.
    
    Parameters:
    
    freeParameters - number of free parameters (i.e. dimension of the gradient)
    
    index - index of the variable (from 0 to getFreeParameters() - 1)

  - newInstance
```
public Gradient newInstance(double c)
```
    Create an instance corresponding to a constant real value.

The default implementation will be removed at the next major version.
