// 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 .
//
// ---------------------------- Member data: ----------------------------------
//
//  fFunction  - pointer to the function to be integrated
//  fNumber    - the number of points in fAbscissa and fWeight arrays
//  fAbscissa  - array of abscissas, where function will be evaluated
//  fWeight    - array of corresponding weights
//
//
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// Auxiliary function which returns the value of std::log(gamma-function(x))
//
// G4double 
// GammaLogarithm(G4double xx)
