        Deprecated.
        Solve for a zero in the given interval, start at startValue.

        A solver may require that the interval brackets a single zero root. Solvers that do require bracketing should be able to handle the case where one of the endpoints is itself a root.

        Parameters:
        min - the lower bound for the interval.
        max - the upper bound for the interval.
        initial - the start value to use
        Returns:
        a value where the function is zero
        Throws:
        FunctionEvaluationException - if an error occurs evaluating the function
        MaxIterationsExceededException

        in 2.2 (to be removed in 3.0).
        Find a zero in the given interval with an initial guess.

        Throws IllegalArgumentException if the values of the function at the three points have the same sign (note that it is allowed to have endpoints with the same sign if the initial point has opposite sign function-wise).

        Parameters:
        f - function to solve.
        min - the lower bound for the interval.
        max - the upper bound for the interval.
        initial - the start value to use (must be set to min if no initial point is known).
        Returns:
        the value where the function is zero
        Throws:
        MaxIterationsExceededException - the maximum iteration count is exceeded
        FunctionEvaluationException - if an error occurs evaluating the function
        IllegalArgumentException - if initial is not between min and max (even if it is a root)
