Title: add an example that minimizes the Rosenbrock function

The Rosenbrock function is a standard test function for nonlinear optimization procedures. Perhaps by using AlgoPy to provide more information about the function to the optimization procedures we can find the minimum more easily, without having to differentiate the function symbolically or by hand, and without the loss of accuracy incurred by using finite differences.
