Actually, not quite. I think minimizers or minimization are good for that
package, minimum is not.
Likewise, solvers for the package, but not root.
A minimum or a root is something you find, not software.
+1 for solvers.FooSolver.solve -> root,
minimization.FooMinimizer.minimize -> minimum
by Ted's reasoning, wth "Foo" as descriptive as possible and
class/interface hierarchy as simple as possible.

The standard term in mathematical software is solver for the object that
does it, solve for the method it does and root or result for the final
output.
Thanks for the hint, Ted.
Hence I guess for the package name, "solvers", "solving", "root"/"roots"
are all acceptable.
For the other package "minimizers" is perhaps awkward but "minimization"
or "minimum"/"minima" are also acceptable.
Lets go for "root" and "minimum" as suggested by Gilles.

I think that "root" is clearer (e.g. for a new user browsing the

list javadoc).
[And both are little bit shorter names than the alternative. ;-)]
I am OK with any suggestion like this. Since I'm not a native english
speaker, I let some time for other people to express their feelings
about this.
