class BracketMinimum from math
     	---Purpose:Given two distinct initial points, BracketMinimum
    	-- implements the computation of three points (a, b, c) which
    	-- bracket the minimum of the function and verify A less than
    	-- B, B less than C and F(A) less than F(B), F(B) less than (C).
