Computes the Jacobian of a SolvableMultivariableFunction numerically. This will call the appropriate events on the functions as they are computed.

Parameters:

function - The SolvableMultivariableFunction to compute the Jacobian for.

variables - The independent variables to compute the Jacobian at.

perturbationValues - How much each variables should be perturbed while computing the Jacobian.

differenceMethod - The differencing method to use to numerically compute the derivative.

multithreaded - Should this routine use a multithreaded algorithm. Usually the multithreaded algorithm will be faster, however in cases where there are very few variables and the function evaluates very quickly, it may be faster to set this to false.

precomputedValueResults - The function results at the variables. This is optional; if this is null then the function will be evaluated at the variables.

progressTracker - An optional progress tracker.

Returns:

The evaluated Jacobian of the function.
