I'm against the "simple" solution of building a Math_RootFinding- package and later let it die. A base-package with just RootFinding (and maybe some other) functions as a start is fine imho. But the API should already be as extensible as possible - and first of all, the package-name should be. We don't want too much packages "dying" (and be re-arranged under a different name) if this is possible to avoid beforehand. Stefan
