# require 'bigdecimal/jacobian'
#
# Provides methods to compute the Jacobian matrix of a set of equations at a
# point x. In the methods below:
#
# f is an Object which is used to compute the Jacobian matrix of the equations.
# It must provide the following methods:
#
# f.values(x):: returns the values of all functions at x
#
# f.zero:: returns 0.0
# f.one:: returns 1.0
# f.two:: returns 1.0
# f.ten:: returns 10.0
#
# f.eps:: returns the convergence criterion (epsilon value) used to determine whether two values are considered equal. If |a-b| < epsilon, the two values are considered equal.
#
# x is the point at which to compute the Jacobian.
#
# fx is f.values(x).
