Calculates the terms of the partial derivative of the polynomial function represented by this Polynomial object
with respect to X and stores the terms for later evaluatation.
Calculates the terms of the partial derivative of the polynomial function represented by this Polynomial object
with respect to Y and stores the terms for later evaluatation.
Calculates the terms of the partial derivative of the polynomial function represented by this Polynomial object
with respect to Z and stores the terms for later evaluatation.
Calculates an estimate for an X value that allows the polynomial function represented by this Polynomial object
to equal zero when the specified Y and Z values are held constant.
Calculates a series of zeros found by the calculateZero method in the interval from the double value start to the double value end
choosing guesses at every interval of the length specified by the double value increment.
Returns an Intersection object that represents the closest intersection
(>= RayTracingEngine.e) between a surface in the specified array of Surface
objects and the ray represented by the specified Ray object.
Returns the value (>= RayTracingEngine.e) of the closest intersection point of the specified Intersection object
If there are no positive intersections, -1.0 is returned.
