e minimized is fixed. This is an
unfortunate limitation of Fortran 95. But there are at least two ways
around it:

<ul>
<li>
If the function requires one or more parameters, or a set of
measured data, then it can be useful to store these first as module
variables and then call <em>find_minimum</em> with as argument a function
in that module that can access the data:
<p><table><tr><td bgcolor=black>&nbsp;</td><td><pre class='sample'>
    module measured_data
        use select_precision
