// Class description:
//
// Base Class for realisation of numerical methodes for integration of functions
// with signature double f(double) by Gaussian quadrature methods
// Roots of ortogonal polynoms and corresponding weights are calculated based on
// iteration method (by bisection Newton algorithm). Constant values for initial
// approximations were derived from the book:
//   M. Abramowitz, I. Stegun, Handbook of mathematical functions,
//   DOVER Publications INC, New York 1965 ; chapters 9, 10, and 22.
