/**
 * This class implements the <a href="http://mathworld.wolfram.com/MullersMethod.html">
 * Muller's Method</a> for root finding of real univariate functions. For
 * reference, see <b>Elementary Numerical Analysis</b>, ISBN 0070124477,
 * chapter 3.
 * <p>
 * Muller's method applies to both real and complex functions, but here we
 * restrict ourselves to real functions.
 * This class differs from {@link MullerSolver} in the way it avoids complex
 * operations.</p><p>
 * Muller's original method would have function evaluation at complex point.
 * Since our f(x) is real, we have to find ways to avoid that. Bracketing
 * condition is one way to go: by requiring bracketing in every iteration,
 * the newly computed approximation is guaranteed to be real.</p>
 * <p>
 * Normally Muller's method converges quadratically in the vicinity of a
 * zero, however it may be very slow in regions far away from zeros. For
 * example, f(x) = exp(x) - 1, min = -50, max = 100. In such case we use
 * bisection as a safety backup if it performs very poorly.</p>
 * <p>
 * The formulas here use divided differences directly.</p>
