Numerical differentiation.

From the GSL manual: \"The functions described in this chapter compute numerical derivatives by finite differencing. An adaptive algorithm is used to find the best choice of finite difference and to estimate the error in the derivative.\"

-- | Adaptive forward difference algorithm, /gsl_deriv_forward/. The function is evaluated only at points greater than x, and never at x itself.

This function should be used if f(x) has a discontinuity at x, or is undefined for values less than x. A backward derivative can be obtained using a negative step.
